Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.
I had gone through your query and can understand it.
The normal range of WBC and Platelets are 4000 to 10,000 and 1.5 lacs to 4.5 lacs accordingly. And in this query, the counts are not properly specified accordingly. So better you will go for consultation of pediatrician.
Till the time of consultation, give her liquid Metacin (if no allergy), 5 ml, 3 times in a day at the interval of 7 to 8 hours for a day or two. Apply cold sponges on forehead, on both palms and soles if fever is too high. Give her maximum liquid intake.
Hope this information will be helpful to resolve your query and further queries are always welcome. I will like to answer them.
Wish your daughter good health.
Take Care, Thank You.
