But allopathic doctors say that there is no scientific evidence that goat’s milk increases platelets.
Patients increased in OPD of Civil Hospital

These patients are being examined in the government hospital of the city only on the basis of two doctors. In such a situation, many people are engaged in curing fever with their home remedies.
Low platelets does not mean dengue. Platelets are also reduced in repeated fever, hepatitis B, malaria and typhoid. These days platelets are being found low in many fever patients. There is no scientific evidence yet that goat’s milk increases platelets.

Goat’s milk being ordered from villages
Arvind, who lives in Sector-12, said that usually goat milk is available from Rs 50 to 60 per liter, but in view of the high demand, many people have also increased its prices. His sister had got dengue, due to which he had to buy milk for Rs 1600 a litre. People in the city do not have a place to raise goats and cows, only selected people keep them according to the place. At the same time, some people are getting milk from rural areas.
Medical advice is necessary if platelets are low
Normally there are 1.5 lakh to 5 lakh platelets in a healthy human being. There is no need to panic if they are low. Rather, it should be treated. If the platelets decrease rapidly, then the body starts getting rashes. At the same time, if any part of the body starts bleeding, fever, kidney and liver problems, then platelets need to be transfused.
