Hi I had dengue six days ago but now I am feeling perfectly fine. I just did a blood report but the platelet count is still low. Why is this happening?

After dengue, platelet count can stay low for 1 to 2 weeks even if you feel better. It usually rises naturally. Keep yourself hydrated and avoid exertion or injury.
