HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic

See NS1 test could be negative if done after 3 days of fever , so I advise to get IgM Dengue Antibodies to check if Dengue fever is there or not .

It is unlikely for Typhoid fever to cause low platelet but sometimes typhoid fever co-exists with Viral fever and in that case Platelet count can be low . So I advise you to get IgM Typhi Dot to check for Typhoid fever .

I also advise to get Urine routine test. Repeat platelet count everyday till it reaches normal value.

The possibility of viral fever is very high and if temperature is of 102-103 then better you admit her to a hospital .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
