Hi, dengue is the viral fever and platelets count goes down to very low level. But after the episode of viral infection over it will start increasing. msny a time it may rise above the normal level also.its just a reactive thrombocytosis and its ok. No need to worry or concerned about that. It will become ok by itself.
thanks for using health care magic.
