What Causes Weakness, Fever And Drop In Platelet Count?
Sjogrens Syndrome
Detailed Answer:
Good evening
thank you for writing on health care magic
Well, yes it is a high possibility the episode of viral fever caused a bit of dip in the platelets. It is a common phenomenon seen with all the viral infections. It transiently lowers the platelets for a few days and then they revert back to their baseline. But we do need to keep a watch on it, so to be sure it hasnt triggered the activity of Sjogrens.
At this stage, I would say there is nothing to worry about... Repeat your platelets after 3 days and then again after a week to see the pattern, if they are falling or they are stable...
They are still in a safe range and would cause no harm.
Hope the information was useful
