Hello, I'm Dr. Nikhil Aggarwal. Thank you for reaching out to me with your concern. A platelet count of 147,000 is slightly below the normal range of 150,000 to 450,000, but's not necessarily a cause for alarm. There are many factors that can affect platelet counts, including infections, medications, and underlying medical conditions.
Given your symptoms of fever and headache, it's possible that you have an underlying infection that is causing your symptoms. The normal CBC, Widal, and malaria tests suggest that you may not have a bacterial or viral infection, but it's still possible that you have a different type of infection that is not detected by these tests.
I would recommend that you follow up with me to discuss your symptoms and your platelet count. They may recommend additional tests or imaging studies to help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, it's important to continue taking any medications prescribed by your healthcare provider to help alleviate your symptoms.
It's also important to rest and stay hydrated, as this can help your body fight off infections and recover more quickly. If your symptoms worsen or you develop new symptoms such as difficulty breathing or chest pain, seek medical attention immediately.
I hope this information is helpful, and I encourage you to follow up with your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
