Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your platelet count is slightly high. It is not low. Slightly high platelet count has no clinical significance. It just a reactive change. No need to worry about that. Just be relaxed. Just repeat your platelets count after 2 weeks.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
