Hai....I understand its fever of 4 days. Only one question....how is he when there is no fever. Please stop meftal... If he is very active & normal when not febrile....leave Alone cough.... Don't worry. The platelet count & sgot sgpt tests you mentioned do not suggest anything serious....they look more like viral. Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply....kindly rate it.
