What Does The WBC At 4.0 And Platelets At 114 Suggest?

my white blood cell count is at 4.0 and my platelets are at 114, but everything else in my lab work is solid, dr said even wbc is okay... referring to hemo to rule out ITP.. does this sound rt? Should I be concerned about ruling out anything else? They said I may have a virus of some sort causing them to be low but ultrasound of organs, all my hemoglobin, b12, cbc and etc looks great. I have anxiety and I am trying to rest assured that ITP is totally treatable, and also the dr said she is not looking at lymphoma or lupus either...

Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your wbc count is at low normal range. And platelets ate also at lower range. Its slightly low so no need to big worry. You may have some viral infection most likely. So if you don't have symptoms then no need to worry. just be relaxed. if you have symptoms then take symptomatic treatment. You should repeat your platelets count and keep a watch on it. If platelet count decrease severely or you have any signs of bleeding then consult your doctor immediately.
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.
