I'm a bit concerned about my platelet count, which is at 120,000. I don't feel weak internally, but I'm curious to know what might be causing it to be on the lower side. Is there any reason for this that I should be aware of?

My haemoglobin level came back as 10.7 and I'm 29 years old. What's the normal range for someone like me? If it's considered low, what can I do to bring it back to normal?

I'm really concerned about my cousin. He had typhoid last year, and ever since, his platelet count has been dropping randomly, sometimes getting as low as 60k. It's weird because he doesn't have a fever or feel any other symptoms. We're all pretty worried about what's causing this fluctuation in his platelets. Do you have any idea what might be going on, and what we should do next?
