CBC counts of the child points more towards a viral infection,as both wbc count and platelet counts are decreased.
Next Steps
Better to rule out Dengue fever. If Dengue negative it could be due to some other viral infection, can repeat the count after 2 days.
Health Tips
Take plenty of water, and add more fruits and vegetables in diet, take rest.
