hi my boyfriend is 26 years old and his platlets dropped from 136 to 125 from last night to this morning. The doctor just tell him he need to drink plenty liquid but we want to be sure what kind of liquid he should drink to build his platlet count also the doctor said if it drop under 100 he could bleed to death. Please tell me what he could use
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Low platelet count is called thrombocytopenia and there have been studies where diet has helped in regaining the platelet count. Usually if very low platelet count, then platelets are transfused (blood transfusion) to prevent bleeding. I would suggest eating nutritious diet and Chat Doctor.  The doctor is right that low platelet count does cause bleeding episodes and can be fatal. Thanks.
