Is it Dengue?

Asked for Female, 31 years

I have had a fever since last week ranging from 101-103. I also had headaches and lower back pain. Today I got tested for dengue, but that was negative. However, on my torso, neck, and face, there are these red rashes. The rashes are not itchy and flat, and they appear to be under the skin. Also, my platelet count was 76,400. I am currently taking Brufen. I was wondering if it is possible that I tested too early for dengue and that it is possible that it is still dengue. Please help

Dear Patient,

I would request you to attach clear photos of your skin so we can give you a confirmed diagnosis.
However, it could be very likely that you may have dengue and have tested earlier. You should repeat CBC daily, if your platelets fall below 50k or you experience bruising or bleeding from anywhere in your body, please rush to the ER.
Meanwhile, hydrate a lot, drink plenty of fluids. Bathe/ice sponging is to be done to reduce fever. Take 2 panadols every 6hrs as needed for fever. If you feel weak or unwell please go to the nearest hospital.
