I've been eating a lot of ice from the fridge and even the frost inside the freezer, probably around 2025 times a day. It's like I have a real craving for it. I'm starting to wonder if this could be bad for me. If it is, what should I do to stop wanting freezer frost so much?

Its completely a behavioural issue. You shouldn't be having it so much. So just try to control somehow. Do not keep the ice tray in the freezer. There is no medicine for such things.

I've been dealing with dengue and was in the hospital about 10 days ago. My platelet count was really low, around 68,000, but by the time I was discharged, it had gone up to 1.2 lakh. Since then, I've been on medication and doing regular CBC checks. The numbers have been climbing quite a bit: 2.5 lakh at the first check, 4.28 lakh at the second, and today it's at 5.1 lakh. Is it okay for my platelets to be this high, or should I be worried about it?
