Since yesterday, rashes have started all over my body and I also have fever. I vomited once this morning. I consulted a physician and got a blood report which shows platelet count 3.6 lakhs. Should not this be a serious issue?

A platelet count of 3.6 lakh (if units are 3.6 x 100,000) is normal. However, if the units are 3.6 x 1,000 (i.e. 3,600), this is critically low and needs urgent attention. Please confirm the units and consult your doctor immediately.

My mother had a fever 5 days ago. She was tested for viral fever, which was negative. Her fever subsided in 3 days, but her platelet count has been dropping daily: Day 1: WBC 1800, Platelets 1.9 lakh Day 2: WBC 3000, Platelets 1.37 lakh Day 3: WBC 3900, Platelets 1.11 lakh Today: WBC 4800, Platelets 0.84 lakh Her WBC is now normal, but the platelet count continues to decrease. She received an injection of Tazira Lyo 4.5 mg today. Should we admit her to the hospital? What action should we take?

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?
