My recent routine blood test shows a platelet count of 130,000. As per my test report from August, it was 140,000. In the meantime, I had a slipped disc, which is now fine. Is the declining platelet count related to that, or could it be a sign of another problem? I have attached my hematology report for reference.

Not likely related to disc issue. However, persistent low platelets need monitoring. Please repeat CBC, Platelet Count and ANA to exclude chronic low grade causes. Take these tests to monitor the drop and rule out autoimmunity.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) Test

Previously, I was able to reduce the fever with Paracetamol (Calpol 650), but now the fever is persistent. How should I manage this? What steps can help cure or relieve my symptoms?
