My PTT is 24.132 and PT is 19.8 with a range of 10.45-13.17, plus my INR is 1.66. What treatment can help bring these levels back to normal? Should I be concerned about these results? I'm scheduled for a minor hydrocele removal surgery is it safe to proceed with these numbers?

Question

My dad's been dealing with a high fever and chills since a couple of days ago. His platelet count has been fluctuating, it was 41k two days ago, then went up to 47k yesterday, but today it's lowered again to 45k. Tests for Dengue and Malaria came back negative, so I'm worried about what else could be causing this low platelet count. How long do you think it might take for his platelets to go back to normal?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's got a really high white blood cell count at 22,000. He's around 80 years old and gets really exhausted even with just a little bit of effort. Any idea what's going on or what we should do next?

Question

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with low platelet levels for about a year now, and I've noticed that every morning I wake up with a cough that brings up dark blood. On top of that, I've been having chronic cough and cold issues. What steps should I take to address these problems?
