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 Denguefever. 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.
