I noticed a movable wobbly lump on the lower left side of my rib cage, about the size of a golf ball. Could you tell me what this might be?

Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) with fever can be concerning. Since the dengue test is negative, other causes like viral infections, bacterial sepsis, or autoimmune disorders should be explored. Consult a hematologist or an infectious disease specialist for further evaluation and guidance. Repeat platelet counts and other diagnostic tests may be necessary.
