Is it normal to have slightly elevated platelets count?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My father is suffering from low platelet count. Every time his test report shows between 45,000 to 15,000 per microliter. He was admitted to the hospital for a week, and the last day report showed 95,000 per microliter. Now the doctor has recommended a bone marrow test. Our whole family is worried. Please suggest. I am from Kanpur, UP.

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.
