Welcome to Health care magic family .
I have evaluated your concern in depth .

@ The altered level of platelet count is not in relation with antibiotic intake ,
it is in relation with the viral infection mediated mechanism .
@ Additional guidance for better recovery

$ Consume plenty of liquids preferably boiled water , green tea, coffee
$ Balanced nutritious diet to combat the infection .
$ Avoid oily, spicy , non veg , beverages , chilled items .
$ Additional intake of Tessalon pearls and decongestants will help .

Hope this will help you .
Always feel free to ask further doubts .
