However, the expert suggested that its fine for individuals to have low platelets count and live a normal life. Also, no medicines or change in food was suggested...Is it fine...please confirm....Thanks in advance. Jayesh Jain

Hi
A haematologist has already looked into it - he must have done appropriate investigations... both qualitative and quantitative analysis. A lower limit of 50K is approved by some specialists.
In the absence of any cause or complication, he has rightly considered a normal variant and suggested no drugs. Keep following up with him for future needs, if any
There is no special diet - some times, mustard oil is alleged. Avoid...
Good luck
