Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

First, your prescription and reports have not been attached. So please attach them.

Second, the dizziness and itching is probably due to the infection, not due to the platelet count. Her fever must have been reduced due to the medications like Paracetamol which is a commonly prescribed medicine for fever.

I would suggest plenty of fluids. This would help her regain volume of plasma and this is frequently helpful in reducing vertigo. A Lactocalamine lotion application may help the itching of the feet.

For any related query and information, feel free to ask a follow up message.

Best wishes, Get well soon.
