Can a person get carbon monoxide poisoning accidentally?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Should I be concerned if my platelet count is 490?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please can someone confirm if this indicates cancer? Recently, I had a very low platelet count of 108,000. I started experiencing bruising on my body and bleeding from gums. I was given medication to increase platelet count. My latest report, done day before yesterday, shows that my platelet count has increased to 533,000. I have attached the report for reference. Could you please advise if there is anything serious in my report and whether there are any indications of cancer?
