Dengue is a disease caused by virus and viral infection doesn't have specific treatment. Only symptomatic and supportive treatment is advocated. Patient must be kept under strict observation of platelet level. 110000 is not a big problem but below 20000 is dangerous, but don't worry, platelet may be given and the treating physician will take care of it. Regards.
