Hello, @m123456. It sounds as though you have questions about what all this means which is understandable. It’s scary when your child is sick.
There are members who are trained and experienced enough to be able to read the blood analysis, but I suggest that you talk to the doctor directly to get the answers you seek. Sometimes persistence pays off when trying to get an appointment or a telemedicine consult. I find that I often have to call more than once.
What is your child’s doctor saying about the results of the CBC? What is he or she looking for?
You need answers to your questions. Please let us know what you find out.

@m123456, this is a public platform and not a secure network to share medical records with medical professionals. I removed the file you shared because it contained personal health identifying information. If you would like to seek consultation with Mayo Clinic experts, please request a second opinion here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

I understand your fears and concern for your child. I don't know what your child's platelet count is and yes all avenues need to be investigated because it is often an indicator of disease.
Yet my healthy husband of 54 years who is now age 76 has had low platelet counts for at least 50 years that we are aware of. His run about 80,000 but has been as low as 60,000 that we are aware of . He was an Air Force pilot, Airline pilot and is leading an active lifestyle. What the doctors say is that his low count is normal for him. He was a redhead, now gray, with thin skin, so he cuts easily but clots about as normally as anyone else.

Thank you for your experience sharing .since i know the case most of the time it is between 40,000 to 60,000 but if he has some pain it counts down to 13,000 -20,000.
