Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
Your platelet count is slightly low. just below normal range. No need to worry if you don't have any symptoms. There are many reasons for low platelet count. Even simple viral infection can leads to that. So don't worry. Just be relaxed. if you have any symptoms you should consult your primary doctors. Otherwise just repeat your platelets count once after a month. No need togo to the haematologist directly.
Hope I have answered your question.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
