this is my continuation of my first question

I had my second laboratory platelet count today my first platelet count 216,000 and today is 227,000. I look at the range of the platelet counts 150,000-450,000. I am 25 years old and 42-43 kls. What do you think of my platelet?
Hello, this is the continuation of my frist post.
The doctor asked if I had a cough, fever and cold. But I dont have. I had a high fever in first whole night only and after that its only above  normal or no fever. After my high fever there is red color that uppering on my skin its itchy and colors are spreading. Even my palm, ears and my feet become itchy and red. Theres no blister. Its only red color at first its a plenty small spot, its spreading so my skin become all red. I feel like there is mosquito biting on my skin.
They suspect me for a dengue fever. But they are curious because I dont have the other symptoms. They said I will go back if I experince vomiting of blood or stomach pain. They didnt refer me to another doctor or dermatologist. They just want me for another platelet count exam. I am scared of needle. And its another payment. I want to know if I am wasting my time and money. I am studying and family dependent.

Hello,
Such itchy red rashes all over the body can be due to due to viral infections( which may be responsible for the fever also), insect bites, medication causing drug allergy or an allergic reaction. Take some antihistaminic like Benadryl  for itching and consult a doctor for confirmation of diagnosis. Your platelet count is in the normal range at the moment.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
