Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Platelet count reduction is very common in dengue fever. We can not stop it. Just monitor the platelet count and if he has any sign of bleeding then consult your doctor urgently. His platelet count will increase automaticaly once the viral fever goes away. Don't worry. Just be relaxed. It will take 6 to 8 days to cure. Take plenty of fluid orally or by intravenous route.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
