Question 1

My platelet count is 126,000 and WBC is 3,400. What should I do to increase them? My report shows Hb 15.60, TC 3,400, DC 55/40/1/4, PC 124,000, MP not mentioned.

Question 2

My uncle hemoglobin is only 7.2 and platelets are 85,000. He also has some jaundice as per the liver function test in his blood report.

Question 3

My platelet count has suddenly dropped by half. My recent blood test showed a platelet count of 80,000, whereas 10 days ago it was 160,000. My hemoglobin has increased over the same period from 11.7 to 12.2. I have not experienced any fever. I do have some acid reflux issues and occasional palpitations. Recently, I noticed swelling around the left side of my face near my left tonsils and a sensation of something stuck in my ear and tonsils. My doctor said this could be due to a bacterial infection, but I never had a fever. Please advise what could be causing this sudden drop in platelets and if there are any good supplements to help increase platelet count.

Should I be concerned if my platelet count is 490?

Yes very much, they may need blood or platelet transfusion
