I am 35. I have recently recovered from dengue. My platelets had dropped to 20,000 last week. Now it is 1,50,000. I am still on medication. Should I consume papaya leaf juice to increase platelet count? What foods should I eat to increase platelets? What should I avoid? Please help.

Ans: I'm glad to hear that your platelet count has improved!. Papaya leaf juice stimulates the bone marrow to produce more platelets so you can try adding it to your diet, but it's always best to consult your doctor before starting any new remedy. To increase your platelet count add Vitamin B12-rich foods like eggs, salmon, and tuna; folate-rich foods like leafy greens like spinach, beans, and citrus fruits like oranges and lemons. Include iron-rich foods like beef, lentils, etc. Certain foods that can lower your platelet count include alcohol and cranberry juice.

Dear Sir .my wife platelets count is around 1 lakh ( 1 lakh 2 thousand) since last six years.doctors are saying that it could be a symptoms of thrombocytopenia..rest she has no other deficiency.. please suggest

Ans: Get her Sr B12 levels checked , also get an ultrasound examination of the abdomen. If she is otherwise okay don't worry about a platelet count of 1 lakh which has been present for 6 years, very unlikely to be due to anything serious.

Hello Sir, My son got 98 percentile in MHT CET, according to previous year cutoff he can get Civil or Production Engineering in VJTI Mumbai, should he take any of the above branch. Is this good for his future. Please suggest.

Ans: Hello dear.
With the mentioned percentile, he may gain admission to CSE or computer-related branches with a compromise on the engineering college. Civil engineering is a more preferable branch over Production from a future point of view. Wait until the SML is declared. The scenario will be clearer after the SML.
Best of luck.

Ans: Hello Geeta
How is it possible that the school name is not printed on the mark sheet? Without the school name, the mark sheet/document will not be valid for any counseling process. Raise this issue with the school management as soon as possible to save your year.
