Suggest Remedy For Decreased Platelet Count While Treating For Dengue

Hi doctor, My wife is detected with dengue and hospitalized since last 5 days. Her platelet counts for these 5 days are, 1.51, 1.68, 1.22, 1.39, 0.81 lacs respectively. She got her periods on 2nd day of hospitalization. Doctors are saying shes recovering and treatment is on correct path. But decreased count is worrying me. Can u tell me if she's recovering well?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You wife os suffering from dengue. There is no definite treatment for dengue. What we can do is symptomatic treatment. She needs plenty of intravenous fluid and hct and platelet count monitoring only. Her platelet count is ok. Nothing to worry much about that.
Treatment is ok. It will take one week to recover. Then she will recover automatically. If her platelet count goes below 20000 then only platelet transfusion is needed. Otherwise nothing to worry. Just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
