Currently, it's nothing to worry as platelet count is not alarming as per dengue positive report. But, platelet starts to decrease only once the fever disappears. So, you have to wait and monitor you child even more once she is having no fever. Watch for any rash, her urine output, any evident swelling over body or any discolouration of urine /stool, vomiting, stomach pain, breathing discomfort.
Keep her hydration proper by giving plenty of fluids orally.
Next Steps
keep a close watch on her once she is afeberile.
Consult pediatrician immediately if any doubt.

Maintain hydration …don’t worry give lots of oral fluids …press the nail bed and if blood returns back in less than 3 Sec then don’t worry …do it every four hourly for next three days …if the blood takes more than 5 Sec then rush to the hospital otherwise not

Greetings,
First of all don't worry,
This is the critical period for dengue, platelet counts are on lower normal as of now.
Few things to monitor :-
1. Maintain hydration and plenty of fluid
intake.
2. Watch for general danger signs like rash,
red colour urine, abdominal pain and black
coloured stool.
3. Repeat platelet count as per your
Paediatrician advice.
