Does augmentin cause elevated blood platelets?
Patient: My 3.5 years daughter (weight 16.5Kg) has dengue fever. Platelet count is 2.1 lakh. how often should I test her platelet count. She has infection in her right leg s mother toe and is on antibiotic too (Syp Augmentin DDS 3 ml dose for 5 days) Will this antibiotic have any impact on her platelet? Doctor: Hi                                Platelet  count in dengue fever is  usually low   (less than 1.5 lakh )  . I think 2.1 lakh count is OK if her condition is other wise well . No augmentin will not have any effect on plateket count. Regarding testing for platelet it dependents on condition of baby .thanks
