Brief Answer:
no she is not developing DHF
Detailed Answer:
thanks for asking in HCM.
As her platelet counts are not so low, and presently under the safe limit, it is very unlikely to get DHF.
Rashes can be appeared due to local trauma or any allergic cause. Small patechie hemorrhagic patches are alarming, so find such patches if their.
Otherwise just maintain the proper hydration, drink lots of water, juices etc.
Routine platelet counts. But as you have given the history, i am sure she is not developing DHF.
So do not worry. just maintain hydration. Have close watch to rule out patechial hemorrhages small pink patches.
