A falling platelet count is common in dengue. Stay well hydrated, get enough rest, and monitor counts. Seek medical help if you have bleeding, fatigue, or worsening symptoms. You can drink beetroot juice to help with platelet count.

My wife is suffering from dengue as per the test report, but I am unable to confirm if the report is correct. The doctor has prescribed Grenil tablet. I do not know if this medicine is appropriate. I am attaching the report here. Please advise what to do, whether the reports are okay, what her platelet count is, and if the medicine is effective or not?
