17 month old recovering from bad stomach virus. blood platelets were 73 5 days ago, 83 yesterday with wbc count of 4000. can this be related to virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Bone marrow suppression with viral illness is common. Sounds like counts are coming up. Very unlikely to be serious.
