Because it seems to be on boundary. Please your reply will be valuable for me. Treatment is ongoing.(azithromycin, calpol 650 and omez d and injections- match, monocef and saline water)

Reports mentioned are normal. Low platelet counts among other conditions is seen in one complication of Dengue called Haemorrhagic Dengue fever. Count may go well below 30000 or so when you have to be careful. Leave it to your doctor to handle the problem now.

Dear lybrate-user, your platelet counts are normal. Nothing to worry. The entire clinical picture is suggestive of viral fever only. You are receiving too many medicines which has covered all possible infections. You should relax, eat good food. You should be fine in a few days inshahallah.
