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

What happens if my platelet count is below 90,000?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My lab report shows that on the first day, my platelet count was 1,48,000, and on the next day, it dropped to 1,22,000. I am concerned about what this decrease means?
