Can I use a nebulizer for my daughter while she's asleep? She's been taking off the mask when she's awake. The doctor suggested using duolin 1ml mixed with 1ml of NS liquid.

I'm really worried because my 7-year-old's platelet count just dropped from 172,000 to 130,000 in just a day, and on top of that, their WBC count shot up from 6,400 to 25,000. They're dealing with Dengue right now. Could this be risky? What's the threshold for platelet levels to become dangerous? What should we do?
This rapid change in blood counts indicates a worsening condition. In Dengue fever, a platelet count below 20000 is considered dangerous and requires immediate medical attention. I recommend immediate hospitalization for close monitoring and management. The child may require intravenous fluids, platelet transfusion, and other supportive care as deemed necessary by the healthcare provider. It is important to closely monitor the child's condition and follow the healthcare provider's recommendations for further treatment.
