Brief Answer:
check platelets again

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for query.

I saw the attached pics.Its really hard to find what your doctor has prescribed.
But one thing is clear that he prescribed predmet 4mg which is a steroid.
Platelet count is within normal limit, but check it again tomorrow.
Dolo and paracetamol are same.
Ask your father to drink lot of fluids at least 4-5 litrs per day.

I need more details to help you.

Since how many days he is having fever?
Does he have any bleeding while passing stools or any other way?
Have you done dengue profile?
What is total count value?

Get back if any query.

Regards,
Dr VSK
