Suffering From Cold Symptoms,cough And Body Pain With Low Platelet Count. Worried About Viral Infection.

I recently went to the doctor for cold symptoms, cough and body aches, tiredness. I was given cough meds and told to come back to have my finger pricked again. Today I was told I have a low platelet count 84, should I be worried or could this be due to me having a viral infection (cold).

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having viral or Dengue fever.
Low platelet count is a point of worry.
Consult your doctor and get examined and start treatment as soon as possible.
Ok and take care.
