I have seen dengue patients with 10k platelets and completely stable required no intervention.
Since given age and some malignancy history, needed supervision which was good step for hospitalization.
Normal life span of platelets is about seven days that decreases in any infection or stress. It will get back to normal eventually (about 3 to 4 weeks depends) nothing to worry.
Just make sure to pay attention if he develops red flag symptoms like new abdominal pain, change in stool color or body rash, else he is on way to recovery.
You are doing great job
taking care.
