There is no significant drop in Platelet count. There is no mention about other blood counts are details of Dengue tests done for confirmation. She should be under supervision of physician for review. Complete bed rest, plenty of oral fluids and regular oral fluids should be followed. Medications related to Papaya are indicated in drop in Platelet count. So far it is normal. Unless Platelet count drops down below 20000, some bleeding is noticed or there is extreme weakness, Dengue is to be treated like any other Viral fever.
