I received my CBC report today. My platelet count has increased from 100,000 to 135,000 in three days. I do not have a fever, and I am eating and drinking well. The only issue is that I am feeling chills. Could this be due to low platelets? Despite this, I am performing three rounds of push ups (15 each with 30 second rests). Please advise if the chills are related to low platelet count.

Platelet count is improving and not dangerously low. Chills without fever suggest mild viral illness or exertion effects. No immediate concern. Monitor platelets and CBC weekly.

I am attaching the report here. Please advise what to do, whether the reports are okay, what her platelet count is, and if the medicine is effective or not?
