If blood test is positive with Dengue IgM, it means that your son is having Dengue fever.
Treatment for Dengue fever is the same, you need to give Paracetamol as per body weight and keep your child hydrated well.
Monitor the platelet counts regularly and consult your pediatrician with this report, he will help you with further management.
