I have been diagnosed with dengue, and my platelet count is 96,000. My fever started a week ago, but now I no longer have fever or body aches, and I have not developed any rashes. Do I need to avoid any specific foods? I am not feeling weak at the moment

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.
