Dear Lybrateuser, - The platelet count recovers on its own & doesn't go very low unless there is some disease or disorder - he should have a well balanced diet with more of fruits (have papaya), vegetables, whole grains, protein foods & healthy fats - do regular exercise & lead a healthy lifestyle the platelet count should rise on its own, can monitor it by blood test.
