So, I'm dealing with this low platelet count situation. I've already tried medication and even got saline, but my platelet levels are still low. My family doctor thinks I should see a hematologist. What could be the reason my platelet count isnt improving? What can I expect from a hematologist visit, and are there other treatments I should be considering?

TABLET LIMCEE TO SUCK THREE TIMES A DAY AFTER BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER. GOOD TASTE. USE CITRUS FRUITS LIKE LEMON ORANGE KIWI, AAMLA REGULARLY FOR ONE MONTH OR SO. PLATELET COUNT INCREASED.

View allI'm really worried about this lump I've got between my neck and jaw. It's been there for a while, and I've noticed that my weight has dropped to 67 kg. My recent blood test showed my WBC count is at 14,000, with low lymphocytes but high polymorphs. My hemoglobin's normal, though. I also feel like my body's really warm, and my pulse seems fast. Should I be concerned? Is there anything specific I should watch out for or ask my local doctor about?
"Based on your symptoms of weight loss, high WBC count, low lymphocyte count, high polymorph count, lump in between neck and jaw, warm body, and fast pulse rate, it sounds like you may be experiencing an infection or inflammation in your body. I would recommend taking antibiotics like Amoxicillin 500mg twice a day for 7-10 days to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day for pain and inflammation. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

I've been eating a lot of ice from the fridge and even the frost inside the freezer, probably around 2025 times a day. It's like I have a real craving for it. I'm starting to wonder if this could be bad for me. If it is, what should I do to stop wanting freezer frost so much?
Its completely a behavioural issue. You shouldn't be having it so much. So just try to control somehow. Do not keep the ice tray in the freezer. There is no medicine for such things.

I'm a bit worried because I need to have an operation soon, and my haemoglobin level is only at 9.7. Do you have any advice on how I can raise it quickly?
I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg tablets once daily. Additionally, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and dark leafy greens. Vitamin C can also help with iron absorption, so consider taking a Vitamin C supplement or consuming foods high in Vitamin C like citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to support your body's recovery and hemoglobin production.
