Hi,
It's important to understand why your counts are low to figure out how it can get better.
Just a few things
1. Papaya does not work
2. Herbs don't work
3. What insta influencers tell you won't work
4. A systematic approach to figuring out why it's low for you and how we can work on it is the best way forward
Next Steps
Kindly consult with your current and previous CBC reports along with a peripheral smear

Hello,
A platelet count of **96,000** is mildly low (normal range: 1.5–4.5 lakhs/µL). While a slight drop may occur due to viral infections, nutritional deficiencies (e.g., Vitamin B12, folate), or mild immune reactions, a rapid increase in 2 days is unlikely without addressing the underlying cause.
Short-Term Supportive Measures:
1. Diet: Focus on iron-rich foods (spinach, lentils), Vitamin C (citrus fruits), and folate (leafy greens) to support platelet production.
2. Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids to maintain circulation.
3. Rest:Avoid strenuous activity to prevent injury or bleeding.
4. Avoid NSAIDs:Drugs like aspirin can worsen low platelets.
Important Note:
- If your exam requires a specific platelet threshold, consult the testing center about their criteria.
- Self-treatment is risky. A proper evaluation (e.g., peripheral smear, infection screening, or bone marrow tests) is needed to rule out conditions like ITP, dengue, or chronic disease.
Please consult me immediately for personalized guidance. I’ll assess your medical history, review prior reports, and recommend targeted interventions. For urgent queries, reach me on WhatsApp: **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two**.

To boost platelet count, incorporate a diet rich in foods that promote platelet production, such as papaya, pomegranate, beetroot, carrot, and spinach, as well as foods high in folate like leafy greens, legumes, and whole grains, and also consume foods rich in vitamin B12 like fish, eggs, and dairy products, and vitamin C like citrus fruits, bell peppers, and broccoli, which help in iron absorption, and also include foods high in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon and walnuts, which help reduce inflammation, and drink plenty of water and consider adding platelet-boosting herbs like ginger, turmeric, and ashwagandha to your diet, all while maintaining a balanced and nutrient-rich diet to support overall health and platelet production.
