Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...

The answer to your query is yes. However, you should thoroughly be examined by an Internal Medicine specialist, first of all, to determine the further course of action...Isolated RBC count and platelet counts don't signify anything and need to be correlated with the complete reports, detailed history, and clinical findings...

Appropriate supplementation in the form of medication will also be needed thereafter...Nothing to worry, just go ahead to get yourself evaluated by the Internal Medicine specialist and management accordingly...

Take Care
