Dengue Day 5
Hi my brother has been detected with dengue on today is day 5 - His platelet count is 78k this morning. Does he need to get admitted ? Doctor he's consulting says he can get admitted if he's worried but this is the nature of the infection with platelet drop. Since there is not firm reply on hospitalisation from the doctor - is hospitalisation needed or advised ? Can we wait and do one more cbc tomorrow ? Fever has broken and he has no worsening symptoms - just tiredness.
