Hi.
This is just an incidental finding. If you do not have heavy periods , or bleeding from any other sites, there is nothing to worry about.
You may have a problem in the abdomen such as colitis and so , which is not directly connected with mild reduction in platelets.
Get an antibiotic course and wait for the investigation reports.
The probable causes are::
Flu
Typhoid
dengue and such infection can cause low platelets.
