Hi,
This much platelet counts in dengue fever need daily blood counts monitoring and replacement is not indicated unless below 15000 or bleeding from any site. However, for itching Chlorpheneramine and topical Calamine lotions can be given. Serum bilirubin and urea levels should also be monitored.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
