Can you get a low blood platelet count if you are sick from a cold or stomach virus?

---

My husband got a low blood platelet count from a blood test but the day he did it he was sick (throwing up and with a slight fever). He is no longer sick but the place he got the blood test from said he needed to see the doctor right away. He is the healthiest person I know he exercises and eats right. They said HIV is out of the question , he does not bruise or bleed out of the ordinary. Before I go to the doctor we would like to know if a stomach virus can make your platelet count be low. The last time he got his blood check again he was sick with a cold and they said his platelets were low too.
Anemia, or a low red blood count, would just mean that he gets cold very easily.

I have the same thing. I have always been healthy, I eat right and I exercise.

This came up on a recent physical. I talked to a friend of mine, who is a surgeon, and he said the above, about being cold. It's not due to illness.

I asked my Mom about it and she said to eat liver.

I told her I'd rather be cold!  (+ info)

Why do some people have unusually high blood platelet counts?

Whenever I donate platelets, the technicians ask for a larger blood extraction (because it takes longer) given that my average platelet count is about 450. They can not give me a reason for this.

What is the best treatment for Low Blood Platelet, and what is the good diet for it? Obviously treatment vary based on cause and patient
15 Oct: The currently level is somewhere around 25,000. And daily doctors age giving some very costly injection to maintain the level
The best treatment i've seen for low platelets is a transfusion of platelets, but you usually only get those if your really low. What is your platelet count? When your anemic of course they will say to get more iron, so things like green leafy veggies, liver and things like that have tons of iron which is good for anemic people. I'm not sure theres a food per say you can eat to up your platelet count.  (+ info)

Could you suggest me to how to increase platelet count in blood?

---

I have been suffering from typhoid and my blood platelet count is 1,75,000. Is it good figure or what will i do for increasing. And where Am I in health condition?
Hi Yamini.

A normal platelet cell can be active for up to ten days after which the cell dies and is removed naturally from the body. In a normal healthy person, 1 ml of blood contains anywhere from 150,000 to 400,000 platelets.

If your platelet count drops below the normal count, you may suffer from a disease called thrombocytopenia where the blood stops clotting and one may suffer huge blood losses due to minor injuries. A fall in your platelet count will also cause anemia and you will experience all the symptoms of anemia as well.

But as you mentioned your platelet count to be 1,75,000 so it is very normal. So you need not worry regarding this.

However, if you are concerned about increasing your platelet count, and want to increase platelet count naturally, here are some suggestions that you should follow to raise platelet count:

■ Avoid all refined food stuffs including sugars, saturated fats, processed foods and grains, aerated drinks. These foods are known causes of platelet count fall.
■ Consume a lot of healthy food. This includes fresh and organic foods. This will help in stimulating the body’s internal mechanism and increase your platelet count.
■ Ensure that you thoroughly wash you wash raw food before consuming them as helminthes, parasites and viruses are known to cause a fall in the platelet count.
■ Use cod liver oil or flax seed oils. They strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation, improve circulation and increase your ratio of HDL (High Density Lipoproteins) to LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins).
■ Tomatoes and berries are loaded with vitamins and minerals and have strong anti-oxidant qualities which will help you increase platelet count.
■ Consume a lot of green and leafy vegetables. It increases the hemoglobin level of blood and helps tackle the underlying cause of low levels of platelet count.
■ Vitamin and mineral supplements taken regularly, will also enhance your immunity and ability to fit diseases that may aggravate fall in platelet count.

Take care. Regards.  (+ info)

What increases the Platelet and Blood Count in the body?

---

Can someone let me know what helps to get the platelet and blood count increase in the body?

Thanks,
There is no particular food group that helps in the production of platelets. However, drumstick leaves, Indian gooseberry, green gram, liver, fenugreek leaves, citrus fruits and egg yolk can help correct liver cirrhosis or anemia that would help in resuming the proper production of the platelets.

During this time, avoid fatty foods and alcohol which could further damage the liver and hinder the production of the platelets. Also avoid taking any drugs that might have an adverse effect on the production of platelets.  (+ info)
