Hi although dengue is a dangerous disease if it is properly managed with enough fluids it can be treated easily. Since it is a viral disease no drug can completely treat it but with time body's own immunity kills all the virus. There are some ways you can increase platelets naturally so as to prevent internal bleeding cause if platelets decrease below 20-30,000 then the disease becomes very vicious to treat. You can consult for more info.
