What Could The White Blood Cell (WBC) And Platelet Counts Suggest?

my little sister is 20 years old. Her wbc is 3.6 She has been getting her blood monitored for a few years now and the doctors have been acting really strange recently. We had issues with the insurance company and cannot afford the $1,000 every month.. Also her PLATELET count is 98.

your WBC count is slightly lower than normal. but not a big issue. same way your platelet count is also slightly lower than normal and no a big issue. it happens in many viral infections or other infections. so from these only we can not conclude anything. tell me what is the problems your sister have. then only we can able to detect the situation. if your sister don't have any problem then this count is of no worry. it will back to normal in few time. if she has any symptoms then it is of concern.
