My platelet count has been stuck at 70,000 for 15 days and isn't going up, which is delaying my fracture surgery. I've tried caripil carica leaf extract, papaya fruit and leaf juice, kiwi, and giloy soup and tablets but nothing's working. What else can I do to boost my platelets quickly?

I'm looking over my CBC blood test results and I'm a bit worried. My PDW is at 17.1, and I've noticed my WBC count is 11.4, while the normal range they provided is between 4 to 9. Also, my HCT level is 41.8 but the normal ratio is 34 to 38. Could you help me understand what these numbers might mean? I'm not sure if these are something to be concerned about. Would appreciate any advice or suggestion you could give!

15 years old, you're likely still growing. _Expected Growth_ 1. _Boys_: Typically grow 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) per year between 13-18 years old. 2. _Girls_: Usually grow 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) per year between 11-16 years old. _Predicted Height Increase_ Assuming you're a boy, you can expect to grow around 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in the next 2-3 years. As a girl, you might grow around 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) in the next year or two. _Projecting Your Height_ Based on your current height (5.5 feet or 165.1 cm), here are some possible projected heights: - Boy: 5.9-6.1 feet (179.8-185.4 cm) - Girl: 5.6-5.8 feet (170.2-176.8 cm)
