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.

Part of the fever, dengue and when to seek urgent assessment guide
From this question to a practical consultation
Use this guide to prepare the history for a discussion about fever, dengue and when to seek urgent assessment. Record when the concern began, what has changed and how it affects daily activities. Bring reports and prescriptions already available; you can ask which further tests would help before arranging more investigations.
At the visit, ask what the clinician thinks is most likely and which findings support that view. If the diagnosis remains uncertain, ask how it will be clarified and which changes should prompt earlier assessment. A clear next step is more useful than collecting several possible labels from online searches.
Before leaving, confirm the purpose of each prescribed treatment, the follow-up date and who will communicate results. Keep that plan with your symptom record so a review can compare progress. Tell the clinician if the plan is difficult to follow because of work, costs, side effects or care responsibilities.
- 1
Record day of illness and symptoms
- 2
Assess hydration and warning signs
- 3
Order time-appropriate tests if needed
- 4
Review recovery or escalate promptly
The sequence explains planned care. Urgent symptoms require prompt assessment and may change this pathway.
The assessment before a treatment decision
Testing is chosen according to the suspected cause and timing. A negative or positive test needs interpretation in the context of symptoms and the day of illness. Ask whether repeat assessment is needed if the illness changes.
Medical guidance: WHO: Dengue and severe dengue
How can I prepare for an assessment of these symptoms?
Bring a symptom timeline, relevant reports, current prescriptions and your main questions. Ask how the diagnosis will be assessed, whether further tests are needed, what follow-up is planned and which changes require earlier care.
