Hello,
The platelet count can be low due to temporary infective etiology. You need to drink lots of water. Your platelet count needs to be monitored.
If you have fever also than I suggest to investigate with dengue IgM test as well. Kindly attach your reports to guide you further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
