I recently got my blood report, and it shows that my platelet count is 100,000. However, I am currently feeling completely normal. I am a bit confused and concerned about what this low platelet count could mean.

Platelet count of 100 (mild thrombocytopenia) can be normal for some individuals. If there are no symptoms (bruising, bleeding), just monitor.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a PERIPHERAL SMEAR Test

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

I have been diagnosed with dengue, and my platelet count is 96,000. My fever started a week ago, but now I no longer have fever or body aches, and I have not developed any rashes. Do I need to avoid any specific foods? I am not feeling weak at the moment
