My lab report shows that on the first day, my platelet count was 1,48,000, and on the next day, it dropped to 1,22,000. I am concerned about what this decrease means?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My mother is suffering from dengue and she is admitted in ICU in hospital. Her blood count is 5000 only. One transfusion of platelets has already been done and now we are waiting for the next blood report. What should be done in this condition? What precautions need to be taken? What food should she eat? What points should be taken care of further? Please provide your valuable inputs.
