A member asked:
What to do if i do not know why my white blood count is low or my platelets. i felt sick the day before maybe a virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Viral infections: White blood cell counts before a viral infection may be normal , elevated or decreased. Feeling sick is not just a result of changes in your blood counts which are dynamic and change second to second. If you are worried about having low platelets, you can have this checked at your health care providers office
