Brief Answer:
When count is more than 1 lakh you can get discharged.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Your platelet count will increase automatically when you start recovering from dengue. As it is a viral fever symptomatic treatment is the solution.

Other ways are to include pomegranate and papaya in your diet as fruit or juice, milk and other dairy products such as cheese. Even carrots, spinach, asparagus help in increasing platelet count.

The right time to get discharged would be when your platelet count increases and is more that 1 lakh.

I hope this answered your query.
