Suffering from rashes all over body, high fever. Blood test done. Treatment for symptoms?
Patient: Hello doc! my husband had high fever for 3 days (38-39C), on the 4th day temp is 39-40 with rashes ... blood test result platelet count is 175, hematocrit 0.48. After 12 hours, platelet=161 hematocrit=0.48, after 24 hours , temp is 37.4-37.8, rashes begin to fade, platelet=157 hematocrit=0.46. May I ask for your opinion if he still needs another blood test or do you think he is on his way to recovery? Thank you. Doctor: hello  welcome to healthcare magic forum  thank you for your query  it looks that he is improving ,but should do blood test after 1 day . for rash apply calamine lotion twice a day  if itching is there ,antihistaminic is advisable  continue all medicine which are prescribed by your doctor  there may be exfoliation of skin in next 2-3 days  i hope i answered your question
