We have to monitor the patient physically and through blood tests . Most of the dengue cases fall in the mild category when patient recovers completely in 5 to 7 days . You must maintain adequate amount of fluid intake so as to ensure a good urine output . Get your child monitored as per advise of the doctor . So far the WBC and platelet counts are normal .

Getting rid of dengue is by taking measures to avoid mosquito bites by using repellents or mosquito nets and also avoiding stagnant water in and around your home.
Main stay of treatment for dengue is plenty of fluids and paracetamol whenever there is fever.
