Hi,
This fever might not be typhoid fever but any unknown origin fever which caused low platelet count leading to bleeding tendency.
Further blood reports and investigations,nature of fever will be decided.
But it is more important to control platelet count and increasing count.
As he is in the hospital, nothing to worry, every thing will be taken care.
Ok and take care.
