As the season is Dengue season
So high chances might be dengue fever

1. Bluish red discolouration of skin
2. Headache
3. Stomach ache
4. Dehydration
Don’t do home remedies without confirmed results as the Dengue fever may complicate

The reports indicate a viral infection. Kindly get a dengue test done if not already performed.
Decrease in WBC and platelets indicate viral infection.
If the symptoms doesn't improve, kindly admit him in a hospital for IV Fluids and further management.
Keep him really hydrated. Plenty of water orally.
Look out for bleeding. Blood while passing urine (could be seen as orange/red coloured urine), blood while passing stools (black or red colored feces) could indicate dengue with worsening conditions.
Next Steps
Hydration, admission to hospital and IV fluids plus further treatment. Look out for bleeding.

Your son's blood report is suggestive of Vital fever with thrombocytopenia (fall in platelet count). Platelet is required for normal homeostasis. When platelet counts fall, there is chance for his blood pressure to fall. Hence, he needs continuous monitoring of his vitals.
Most common etiology is Viral infectious causes, among which Dengue Fever is common.
Dengue IgM test can be done.
Treatment includes: fever management, good oral intake, if not taking orally, will have to start intravenous fluids.
Next Steps
Serial monitoring of Platelet Counts and Hematocrit.
Recording of his blood pressure
Health Tips
If any danger signs, return to hospital at the earliest
Danger signs:
1. Persistent vomiting
2. Severe abdominal pain
3. Any Bleeding manifestations
4. Breathing difficulty
5. Lethargy
6. Restlessness

The WBC count is decreased and Platelet levels have been significantly decreased. My first differential to rule out will be Dengue ma'am, we may have to take NS1 Antigen test for that.
I require the trend of fever in this case. Kindly contact Nine nine nine six four one two zero three in whatsapp. Thank you.

Your son’s CBC shows platelets 212to 197 (still normal, >150k) and WBC within safe range.
Fever is settling, no danger signs at present—continue fluids, rest, and paracetamol if >100°F.

It could be a Dengue fever.
Get him admitted to the hospital as the more concerning phase starts after the fever subsides. Do not mistake it for resolution of the disease. He needs to be monitored for BP any bleeding and Platelet count.

The fever has already started coming down which is a good sign, but the main concern is the platelet count trend. In the CBC of 7th Sept the platelet count was 124,000/µL, and by 10th Sept it has further dropped to 82,000/µL. WBC count has also come down but still within the lower end of normal, which is common in viral fevers like dengue.
Next Steps
•Get a CBC checked daily until the platelet count starts rising.
•Keep him well hydrated (ORS, coconut water, soups, plenty of fluids).
•Only Paracetamol for fever if it goes above 100°F. Avoid medicines like Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Diclofenac.
•If any of these appear, or if platelets fall further below 50,000/µL, he should be taken to hospital immediately for monitoring.
•Since the fever is settling and he is otherwise improving, this may just be a viral thrombocytopenia, but consultation with a physician is strongly advised with these reports.
Health Tips
• Closely watch for warning signs – bleeding gums/nose, red spots on skin, blood in stool/urine, severe abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, or excessive weakness.
