Dear Patient,

The platelet count seems to be improving overall. The treatment is to replace cells externally and find the cause meanwhile.
Things that could be causing his low count are diseases like chikungunya, some kind of infection. Does he smoke/drink/take any social drug? Does he have any other disease like high bp or sugar? What other symptoms was he experiencing? Has he had any surgeries or blood transfusions? Plz, share his reports treatment n these details with us so we can guide you better. Alternatively, you could meet a hematologist who can guide you more.
