No. Nothing to worry about at present.
Dengue starts developing complications after one week. So you should wait till the subsequent blood tests don't reveal any deterioration.
But 99% of Dengue patients do well and recover fully.

Hi dear
Dengue fever usually settles by itself in about a week but sometimes some people do get complication and that is why they are kept in hospital.
2 lakhs platelet is okay and u should expect a further decrease in it in coming few days and then it will rise back again.
So don't worry everything will be okay
Take care

Hey there. You don't need to worry about anything. 2lakh platelet is normal. The doctors must be taking good care of your husband. As long as there is no bleeding or volume loss, dengue does not cause much problem.
