Brief Answer:
Get her Dengue tested.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
No she doesn't have jaundice. However her total leukocyte counts and platelets are low.
This can happen in viral fever or dengue.
I would recommend you to give her Paracetamol only for fever and body pains.
Don't give her any other pain killers.
I would recommend you to get her Dengue tested and if it's negative, it would be probably due to viral infection only and should go away with 5 days.
However her platelet counts need monitoring.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
