my 7 months daughter has been diagnosed positive for dengu (NS1) on wednesday. Her blood platellet count has been reducing from 186000 on wednesday to 131000 on friday. and we are getting blood platellet count tested everyday. Though the fever is under 101, but the platellet count is still reducing. What should i do.
Hi...in dengue fever, rather than platelet count...most important things are - 1. Swelling and water accumulation all over the body.2. Decreased urine output3. Respiratory distress4. Seizures5. Regarding lab tests - PCV or Hematocrit is more important than platelet count. If it is above 38 and the kid is not Chat Doctor. What you need to do is - watch for the above danger signs and if they develop rush to the nearest emergency room. Regards -
