I'm trying to understand my daughter's situation better. Her platelet count was 2.55 lakh on the 22nd of September. Today it dropped to 1.85 lakh, though her fever's reduced, and she's still on medication. Is her platelet count within normal range? Could you explain what this means for her health?

A normal platelet count ranges from 1.5 to 4.5 lakhs per microliter (L); your daughter's current platelet count of 1.85 lakhs is within the lower normal range, which is a good sign, especially since her fever has subsided; however, it's essential to continue monitoring her platelet count and overall health under the guidance of her healthcare provider to ensure the underlying condition is being effectively managed.

I'm really worried about my 1-month-old daughter. Shes been exclusively on breastfeed, but my elders are saying I'm not producing enough milk since she wants to feed more often and doesnt sleep much. I'm considering giving her powdered milk. Is that okay, and if so, how much should I be giving her?
