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.

A count of 125 is slightly low. If you are not experiencing bleeding or bruising, its usually not dangerous. Repeat test to monitor.

I have been experiencing fever that comes and goes with chills. After taking paracetamol and antibiotics, the fever subsides. My blood test shows platelets at 1.6 lakh/cmm. Could you please advise if this could be dengue, or what might be causing these symptoms?

In my report, the platelet distribution width is 16.2 percent and the mean platelet volume is 7.2 fL. Can I know if there is any problem?

My uncle hemoglobin is only 7.2 and platelets are 85,000. He also has some jaundice as per the liver function test in his blood report.
