View allI've been having some pretty bad allergy symptoms lately, and while they seemed to calm down after a few days, I'm worried because my blood work showed high levels of mpv at 13.2, pdw at 19, and plcr at 51. Plus, these red boils are popping up all over my body and then disappearing. It's really unsettling. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm a 42-year-old guy living in Pune and I've just been told that my platelet count is slightly higher than 5 lakhs. Should I be worried about this? What happens if my platelet count gets even higher? At what point should I start to really worry, like if it goes over 6 lakhs or something like that?
Platelets are blood cells that help with clotting to stop bleeding. A platelet count slightly higher than 5 lakhs is known as thrombocytosis. In some cases, a high platelet count may not cause any symptoms and may be discovered incidentally on a blood test. However, persistently high platelet counts can lead to an increased risk of blood clots. If your platelet count is consistently above 6 lakhs, it may be a cause for concern. It is important to monitor your platelet count regularly and consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. Treatment for high platelet count may involve addressing the underlying condition, such as an infection or inflammation. In your case, since your platelet count is slightly higher than 5 lakhs and you are 42 years old, it is advisable to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management. Regular monitoring of your platelet count and addressing any underlying health issues is important to prevent complications associated with high platelet counts.

I've just gotten my blood test results, and my platelet count is 1.47 lakhcumm, with a PDW of 27.2 um. I've also been dealing with a cough and cold for the past three days. Do you think the low platelet count is related to my cough and cold, or should I be worried about something more serious? What do you suggest?
