I'm looking at my platelet count and it's at 120, but the normal range is supposed to be above 150 according to the report I got. Should I be worried about this? Does platelet count change daily, or is it pretty stable? If there's anything I can take over-the-counter to help, what would you recommend? I've attached my report, in case that helps.

A platelet count of 120 is mildly low (mild thrombocytopenia), but not typically serious unless accompanied by other symptoms like bleeding, bruising, or petechiae; platelet counts can fluctuate, but significant changes are unlikely on a daily basis

Question

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?
