A member asked:

Is it normal for your platelet count to drop from the standard range (140-400k) down to 122k? could having a cold a few days prior cause the decrease?

Platelets: Platelets can drop with viral infections. They usually rise with serious infection. Red flags would be unusual bleeding or bruising, highly unlikely with platelets over 100,000.
