I've had chronic ITP since I was a kid and my platelets are usually low, like under 20000, but they've been stable at 80000 for a while now. I'm 23 and recently needed amoxicillin for a couple of weeks, which is when I started noticing some random bruising, like one on my thigh that's a few inches long. It's kind of freaking me out because I haven't experienced this in a bit and there are no other symptoms. Should I be worried about this?

I would advise you to visit the ER, it is likely that your platelets have dropped down to a dangerous level. So kindly go to the ER and get evaluated at the earliest and take the necessary treatment for it. Drink pappaya leaf juice which will help increase the level of platelets.

I've had small lymph nodes enlarged all over my body for almost 1.75 years near my ears, neck, under my jaw, armpits, and groin. The doctors at CMC Vellore checked my blood work and abdominal ultrasound, said everything's normal, and told me to come back only if the nodes grow bigger. But my armpit nodes keep hurting, and I can feel them constantly. I've seen multiple doctors in Kolkata, but no one has a solution. What should I do? The pain and the constant awareness of these nodes are really bothering me, and I also have a retracted eardrum. Could these be connected?
Given the persistent, unexplained swollen lymph nodes, persistent pain in the armpit nodes, and retracted eardrum, you should seek a second opinion from a specialist, possibly a hematologist or immunologist, to investigate further. A detailed assessment may be needed to determine the cause of your symptoms, including a thorough examination of your lymph nodes, a detailed history of your symptoms, and potentially additional testing like an MRI or a lymph node biopsy.
