Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have acuye viral infection. Platelets reduction is very common in viral infection. So no need to worry. It will become normal within few days. If you have any symptoms of bleeding then consult your doctor urgently and check your platelets count. Otherwise no treatment is required. Just drink plenty of fluid orally.
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.
