hi, your platelets count is mildly decreased. it not decreased much. causes of low platelets are many. some common are viral infection or malaria. however many times this happens that low platelets are there without any cause or symptoms. so dont worry it will come back to normal within few days. but go for repeat testing regularly till it becomes normal. and if you find any signs of bleeding then consult your doctor urgently. otherwise no any treatment required right now.
thanks for using health care magic.
