Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Bleeding and bruising during brushing during fever can indicate low platelet count (Thrombocytopenia).
I would advise you to get tested:
1. Hemogram
2. Dengue Serology
3. Malaria Antigen
You should not take any medicines other then Paracetamol.
Consult your doctor immediately.
This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy
