Hello
I will suggest you to quote exact blood report. Well it's relatively common to get a low white cell count and platelet count. This count usually regains its usual numbers hina few days to a week. If you can repeat it after 10 to 15 days, you will get fresh picture. If situation remains same.then you need to consult your primary care physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
