My son was diagnosed with dengue 2 days ago. Today will be his 5th day of high fever. This is his second time getting dengue. My concern is that his platelet count has dropped to 26000 even before his fever has subsided.  I am worried about what will happen to his platelet count when his fever eventually subsides. Should I be concernedand what should I do?

Thus, nothing to worry about this.

Give plenty of water. Give him healthy foods. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.
