Not ally there are many cases where platelet counts are found low . If platelet counts are associated with very low Haemoglobin then sometimes it may be reason to worry ..Otherwise if they are low and constant ,not decreasing they are termed as ITP . It can be considered as normal also .
Can you provide reports so that I can advise more appropriately on this .
Hope you find this information useful
