Low platelet count

2017-08-11 16:41:49
Slight swelling of the right collar bone. Visited an Ortho, xray report says "medial margin of right clavicle shows sclerosis s/o osteochondritis". Doctor asked for a blood test to be done. Blood test results in normal range, mostly near the mid point in all cases except platelet count. 40k versus 150-450 range expected. Should this be a cause for concern? Have been asked to consult a hematologist. Just wondering if this is a symptom of something serious like cancer etc. Please let me know.

HELLO, FIRST IS DENGU. MAY BE SOME SERIOUS AILMENT. DECREASE OF P. COUNT RELATED TO DECREASE IMMUNITY. ASK YOUR TREATING DOCTOR FIRST, THAN ASK TO HAEMATOLOGIST. PLATELET COUNT CAN BE INCREASED BY CITRUS FRUITS LIKE LEMON ORANGE KIWI GOOSEBERRY ETC. KIWI GIVES FAST RESULTS. THAT'S IT. I KNOW JUST  IT. O.K BYE.
