A. See When a person or child or an adult to suffering with dengue it’s very common for them to reduce on the pate platelets which is why it is termed as thank you write and with the treatment slowly gradually obviously the platelets are going to increase once again so don’t worry about it is absolutely absolutely normal and the rashes are probably due to the medicines that is been given to the child and once your child is this Sir you should give really good amount of liquid and iron rich diet to the child
