Hello, Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic, If I am your treating doctor I would like to advise you that kindly go for checking dengue NS1 antigen and dengue IgM testing. Decrease in platelets is suggestive of dengue. Give her as much fluid she like. Also if the platelet count is very low, kindly admit her to ICU ASAP. If you have any thing else to ask kindly contact me. Thank you. Dr. Arun Tank infectious disease specialist.
