I'm worried because my fever hasn't gone away in five days, and my platelet count has dropped to 94,000. I've been on a drip for these five days, but there's no change in the fever. What could be going on, and what should I do next?

My husband had a fever for five days, and his platelet count was 1.6 back then. For the last two days, he's been feeling very chilly.
