I need to have a double check on a blood test CBC. My baby is 10 months old. The platelet count is 800,000. Earlier a UTI was diagnosed and the baby was on antibiotics.

A platelet count of 8 lakhs is high (normal: 1.5 to 4.5 lakh). Can happen post infection (UTI), inflammation, or rarely due to bone marrow changes. Monitor count again after 2 to 3 weeks. No urgent treatment needed if baby is active and other reports are normal. Repeat CBC and CRP to rule out inflammation. consultation a doctor if needed.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

My platelet count is 125,000/mm (normal range: 150,000 to 400,000). Is this something serious or dangerous? Do I need any treatment? I have attached my report for your review and advice.
