Dengue with fever and joint pain for 4 days, and a platelet count of 1,00,000, you need close monitoring. This count is not dangerously low yet. In dengue, platelets often drop for a few days before they start to recover, so it is important to watch the trend rather than focus on a single number. There is no specific antiviral medicine for dengue. Only take fever and pain medicines if your doctor recommends them. Avoid medicines like ibuprofen or aspirin, as they can raise the risk of bleeding. Paracetamol is usually safer for fever, but use it only as your doctor advises. Supportive care is key. Drink plenty of fluids such as water, ORS, coconut water, and soups to stay hydrated. Get plenty of rest and keep track of your temperature and symptoms. Repeat platelet counts as your doctor suggests to monitor any changes. Look out for warning signs like bleeding gums, nosebleeds, severe stomach pain, ongoing vomiting, extreme weakness, or a sudden drop in platelets. If you notice any of these, get medical help right away. Staying hydrated and following up regularly are the most important steps for a safe recovery.

If you have a fever and a sore throat, it usually means you have a throat infection. Most of the time, this is caused by a virus, but sometimes bacteria are responsible. You might feel pain when swallowing, have body aches, or feel weak. Viral infections are more common and often get better in a few days with good care. You can take medicine to lower your fever and ease throat pain. Antibiotics are only needed if a doctor confirms a bacterial infection, so only take them if your doctor recommends it. Taking the wrong medicine can cause side effects and may not help. To feel better, get plenty of rest, drink warm fluids, and try saltwater gargles to soothe your throat. If you have congestion, steam inhalation can help. Eat soft, mild foods and avoid cold items. If your fever is high, lasts more than two or three days, or your throat pain gets worse or makes it hard to swallow, see a doctor for the right treatment.
