hi, your symptoms are suggestive of viral fever. its quite common in viral fever that you have low platelets count and low wbc. many other cause of that are there. but its not as frequant as viral. you should go for repeat blood count at alternate days till your counts become normal. no any specific diet is required in viral infection. just take plenty of fluid orally.
