Welcome to H.C.M
In dengue decreasing platelets count is common.Doctor always advise to drink plenty of fluids at frequent interval and avoid medicine which reduce platelets.If patients start bleeding or platelets decrease below a value(usually less than 20000-vary from doctor to doctor) then doctor advise to transfuse platelets.
Some studies show that papaya leaves juice is helpful to increase platelets count.
