constant fever

I have a continuous fever for three days already. It does not subside even if I take antipyretic drugs like paracetamol and Tylenol. I really feel horrible and weak that I could not go to work. I have filed a sick leave because of my fever. I have consulted my doctor about my condition and ask he suggested that I go through some blood exam. I immediately went to the diagnostic laboratory testing center to have my blood checked. The blood test that was made suggested that I am having dengue fever and my platelet is starting to get low. I was confined in the hospital for just a few days and I was immediately discharge. It is a good thing that I had my check up earlier. By doing so, I have just prevented the worsening of my condition.
