My dad in India was recently in the ICU for 8 days, with a severe case of Covid and Dengue. He is 57 years old and also has diabetes. He’s now recovering and is out of ICU, but is still hospitalized.
Sharing what I learnt through the process in case it’s useful for someone else.
He had an extremely high fever (104+°F) when he first started presenting symptoms on Nov 9, and his platelets were falling rapidly. My mom got him tested for both Dengue and Covid, where he tested negative for Dengue and positive for Covid.
