my 7 year old son had viral fever 4 days back and he is under treatement. today we checked the platelet count and it is 1.26lakhs and the total count is 2200 cells/   we went for dengue check also... which is negative, what may be reson for the low counts and what diet he should take and when the blood test should be done again?
Hi, your symptoms are suggestive of viral fever. it's quite common in viral fever that you have low platelets count and low WBC. Many other cause of that are there. But it's not as frequent as viral. You should go for repeat blood count at alternate days till your counts become normal. no, any specific diet is required in viral infection. Just take plenty of fluid orally.
