My father had high fever with shiver two days back. His platelet count was 41k on the day before yesterday. Yesterday it was 47k and today it's 45k. His Dengue & Malaria tests are negative. What could be possible reason for low platelet & how much time it will take to regain this count.

You should get him admitted to a hospital first. Such A low platelet count usually is associated with dengue or a viral infection can cause such a picture too..negative dengue tests do not rule out the possibility of it. There seems to be an increasing trend in the counts which is a good sign. Consult a physician at the earliest
