My wife has been suffering from dengue since Monday. On Tuesday, she did an NS1 test, which was positive, and her platelet count was 206,000. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, her platelet count was 151,000, 141,000, and 99,000 respectively. She looks stable day by day, and her temperature is around 99.5 degrees F (maximum) after taking Calpol 650 every 12 hours. Does she need to be admitted to the hospital? When will her platelet count improve? Her WBC count is 4000 now.

Your wifes dengue report shows a gradual drop in platelet count, which is common during the critical phase. Since shes stable, eating well, and has no bleeding, hospital admission may not be needed right now. Platelet count often starts rising after day 6 to 7. WBC count of 4000 is within dengue trends. Continue hydration and monitor for warning signs like bleeding, breathlessness, or persistent vomiting. Repeat platelet and CBC daily to track recovery.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Dengue Profile - Elisa Test

My mother is suffering from dengue and she is admitted in ICU in hospital. Her blood count is 5000 only. One transfusion of platelets has already been done and now we are waiting for the next blood report. What should be done in this condition? What precautions need to be taken? What food should she eat? What points should be taken care of further? Please provide your valuable inputs.
