Low Platelet Count After Fever. Urinalysis Shows High RBC In Urine. Is It Related To Fever?

hi, my mother have fever last week for 3 days as, i check her cbc and platelet after the fever it shows that her platelet it is is slowly going lower and lower... since my mother don't want to be admitted to any hospital, and she dont have any problems after the fever, all i do is watch over constantly checking her platelet to make sure it don't go dangerously lower lever... i advise her to drink plenty of water and eat a lot and after 3 more days her platelet have gone up but her urinalysis shows that she have rbc 20-22 in her urine... is it related to her fever? and is there something i could do?

Hello dear
Thanks for your query at HCM.

Low platelet counts and high rbc count in urine are sequelae of the infection in the body. You need to immediately consult doctor if platelet counts are dropping.
Repeat urine analysis after 1 week of subsiding infection even then it shows rbc in urine further investigation might be necesssary.
regards.
