I have platelet count low. 1.46 lakh (normal-1.50 lakh). I have a little fever since 5 days. I have taken medication from a near by doctor. But my fever is not curing. Will eating papaya increase the platelet count? I had recently heard so. Is this true? Will eating papaya a daily will cure my disease?
