Thank you for posting your query. I can understand your concern for your brother.

There is no particular treatment for dengue fever except symptomatic treatment like fever control , plenty of fluid administration.

Yes dengue takes its toll on platelets. 46,000 and 40,000 is low. I would suggest you to immediately hospitalise your brother . With fluid administration , blood transfusion , platelet transfusion , he will do better.

If he is already admitted talk to the attending residents and doctors about the fall in platelets. They will definitely guide you in the right direction.
