I do not have a fever, but I am experiencing light headache, dizziness, and lower abdominal pain. I had a CBC done, which shows a low platelet count of 52,000 and hemoglobin of 9.4. What could be the cause, and what should I do?

Low platelets (52,000) and low hemoglobin (9.4) with dizziness and lower abdominal pain need urgent evaluation even without fever. It could be due to internal bleeding, dengue, or other causes. Avoid painkillers and heavy activities. Consult a doctor or visit the hospital immediately for monitoring. Do a Repeat CBC, Dengue NS1, and Ultrasound Abdomen to find the cause.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Dengue NS1 Antigen - Elisa Test

My wife has been suffering from dengue since Monday. On Tuesday, she did an NS1 test, which was positive, and her platelet count was 206,000. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, her platelet count was 151,000, 141,000, and 99,000 respectively. She looks stable day by day, and her temperature is around 99.5 degrees F (maximum) after taking Calpol 650 every 12 hours. Does she need to be admitted to the hospital? When will her platelet count improve? Her WBC count is 4000 now.

My recent routine blood test shows a platelet count of 130,000. As per my test report from August, it was 140,000. In the meantime, I had a slipped disc, which is now fine. Is the declining platelet count related to that, or could it be a sign of another problem? I have attached my hematology report for reference.
