Question 1

My mother had a fever 5 days ago. She was tested for viral fever, which was negative. Her fever subsided in 3 days, but her platelet count has been dropping daily:
Day 1: WBC 1800, Platelets 1.9 lakh
Day 2: WBC 3000, Platelets 1.37 lakh
Day 3: WBC 3900, Platelets 1.11 lakh
Today: WBC 4800, Platelets 0.84 lakh

Her WBC is now normal, but the platelet count continues to decrease. She received an injection of Tazira Lyo 4.5 mg today.

Should we admit her to the hospital? What action should we take?

Question 2

Please can someone confirm if this indicates cancer? Recently, I had a very low platelet count of 108,000. I started experiencing bruising on my body and bleeding from gums. I was given medication to increase platelet count. My latest report, done day before yesterday, shows that my platelet count has increased to 533,000. I have attached the report for reference. Could you please advise if there is anything serious in my report and whether there are any indications of cancer?

Question 3

Should I be concerned if my platelet count is 490?

My mother has started developing patches on her skin since the last couple of days, and they are increasing day by day with itching. Yesterday we did a blood report which shows WBC 11,800 and platelets 486,000. Please suggest?

Raised WBC and platelets suggest ongoing inflammation or infection. Skin rashes with itching may be due to allergies or dermatitis. Consult a dermatologist and consider allergy tests or skin biopsy if needed.
