Frequently Asked Questions

When is dengue most dangerous?

Dengue is most dangerous during the "critical phase" -- usually days 3-7 when fever drops. Platelet counts fall and risk of bleeding and shock increases. This is when hospitalisation at R.K. Hospital with IV fluids and monitoring is crucial.

What platelet count is dangerous in dengue?

Platelet counts below 50,000 need close monitoring. Below 20,000 with active bleeding may require platelet transfusion. At R.K. Hospital, we do daily CBC monitoring and have blood bank access for transfusions when needed.

Can I take painkiller for dengue fever?

Only paracetamol (Crocin, Dolo) is safe in dengue. NEVER take aspirin, ibuprofen (Brufen), or diclofenac as they increase bleeding risk. Consult a doctor at R.K. Hospital before taking any medication.

Does R.K. Hospital do dengue testing?

Yes, our in-house pathology lab offers dengue NS1, IgM, IgG tests, and CBC with platelet count. Reports are available the same day. Call 0755-4260605 or visit our emergency department 24/7.
