Looks like viral fever or Dengue like illness with low platelet counts. You have to monitor platelets at least once in 2 days. It should not drop down below 50,000. Give more fluids and meet your pediatrician daily or alternate days. In viral fevers fever will be there up to 5-7 days.
Next Steps
Meet your pediatrician if any new symptoms are there.
