Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on your description, it appears that your child could be suffering from Dengue fever as the presentation is with high grade fever with decreasing trend of platelet count.
Your child needs to be further investigated for Dengue test and requires admission in a hospital for further management.
Kindly seek medical attention promptly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
