My ESR is 23is that normal for my age? Also, my WBC count is 10,300, and I'm 20 years old. Could you tell me if that's something to be concerned about?

Hey, I just got my CBC results and I'm a bit confused about what they mean. My haemoglobin is 15.9 gdL, and my total WBC count is 7550. The breakdown is Neutrophils at 72, Lymphocytes at 22, Monocytes at 4, Eosinophils at 2, and Basophils at 0. My RBC count is 6.01, and the HCT is 51.7. The MCV is 86.0 fl, MCH 26.5 pg, and MCHC 30.8 gdL, with RDW at 14.3. Platelet count came out to 285. The remarks said "Normocytic Normochromic blood picture." Can you help me understand if everythings okay or if theres anything I need to be worried about?
Everything is within normal range no significant abnormality noted.

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.
