I'm a bit concerned about my CBC report results. The PDW is at 19.3, the MPV is showing 13.1, and the PLCR is 51.0, which I learned are high values. What could this mean for my health? Should I be worried, and what steps should I take next?

I'm on the 9th day of my Dengue treatment, and my platelet count is at 36k. Everything else in my body and reports seems okay. I've been eating and drinking as much as I can to try and boost the count, but for the past two days, it's been stuck between 24k and 36k. I'm not sure what else I should do. Any advice?
