Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to a viral cause

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

I have gone through your query and have checked the attached reports. It seems to be due to a viral infection. You need to give steam inhalation. Just sit with the baby and playce the source of steam before you. The steam is in the air and the child will not need to worry.

Brief Answer:
Maintaining hydration is the most important mode of treatment

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. You need to give her ORS and plenty of fluids. The low platelet count could indicate a dengue like viral fever but if the hydration is proper you need not worry. Give her Syr. Ondem to control the vomiting and ensure that she takes plenty of fluids.

The hemoglobin level is more or less ok and you need not get worried about it at the moment.
