Hi
Dengue doesn't seem to be the reason for high TC. It seems to be due to the current illness your child is having.
In my opinion , she is suffering from a mild upper respiratory infection leading to slightly raised TC.

You can wait and watch. If the symptoms improve within a few days, then there will be no need for even a repeat blood examination. Usually TC improve if infections improve.

In the meantime, use antihistamine and decongestant for cold.
