A. dengue is a viral infection. the treatment consist only of symptomatic relief for the child. you can give only paracetamol for decreasing fever along with body sponge. if it is diagnosed you have to go for blood investigation either into or three days to see for decrease in platelet. no specific treatment is given for dengue and the doctor will wait till the body recovers from dengue by itself. very important to maintain hydration by giving regular water fluids and small amount of easily digestible food. please remain in contact with your doctor for more information and any confusion prevent mosquito bite to prevent dengue

You should be more of iron to the child as of now so start with an iron supplement along with that include more of pomegranate beetroot spinach broccoli more of liquids like all these things are going to be beneficial to increase the platelet count also along with that also I would recommend it to stick to more of liquid for overall diet and health of your child for the time
