Mistakenly took naproxen during dengue
Hi,
My mother in law was suffering with dengue. And she is off from fever in past 4 days. When I was asleep by wife gave naproxen tablet to my mother in law when she said head ache. I heard some where ibuprofen and naproxen etc should be avoided during dengue. Can you please let me know is it ok for one tablet?

These drugs decrease platelet counts. Should never be given in dengue.
You must be monitoring the platelet counts periodically. So no need to worry!
