Is a high blood platelet count bad? I've had it for years, I'm 18.?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My father has easily bruising skin, especially in a particular season. There is no pain or itching. We have done a blood report, which shows a low platelet count, which may indicate a purpura-like condition.

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?
