Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have low platelet count. There are many causes of low platelet count. Simple viral fever, malaria, dengue, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, most of the leukemia all can leads to low platelet count.
You should go for complete blood count, peripheral smear examination. If needed go for bone marrow examination. First find the cause of your low platelet count and then take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
