Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have probable secondary polycythemia caused by smoking habit, i have high hematocrite, and haemoglobin, but still low platelets eventhough it s already in 7th day of dengue infection with also positive result of dengue IgG and IgM. should I worry about it?
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have high hematocrit and hemoglobin due to dehydration. It is very common in dengue. No need to worry. You should take plenty of fluid intravenous as well as Orally. Within few days your hemoglobin and hematocrit will be normal and your platelets also increased. Don't worry. Just be relaxed. Take plenty of fluid. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
