Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Platelet count with 90000 does not require hospitalization at this stage. However, if the fever has subsided, kindly get platelet count done again after 24 hours. If it s showing decreasing trend or drops below 70000, then you need to be monitored by hospitalization.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
