Hi,
The rise in platelet count from 70000 to 82000 is a good sign. This is to getting back the count to normal level (>150000) and is body responce to be in normal range.
Wysolone 10mg for 3 days does not cause much of side effect. Only bother is if taken for long days. THis drug might have been prescribed just as a protective measure for low platelet count.
SO no need to worry aand get checked for platelets again after 3 days.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
