Hello sir/madam last month may 14th I tested covid positive and may 23rd admitted in hospital and discharged 30th may. 18 days back im discharged from hospital after covid recovery. After 14 days of recovery (may 14th) I check cbp, crp,d-dimmer, and cue blood tests, all are normal in all tests except platelets. The platelets will be down to 1 lakh, after that I use caripill thrice for five days and also change my diet. I added fruits (papaya, pomegranate, guava,mango, oranges, kiwi) and vegetables in my diet from 5 days. After that when I go to motion I observe sweet smell while passing the stools, and I go to motion 4 to 5 times daily and urine colour is white it doesn't have any smell while passing. Please give me brief details about this. Thanks in advance.

First of all, a platelet count of 1 lakh isn't concerning at all, you need not worry. Secondly, no amount of fruit and papaya extract will increase the platelet count. It will get elevated naturally. Since you recently had an infection, your body was putting more stress on producing leukocytes. As for the nature of your bowel movement, it is due to increased intake of papaya (which has digestive enzymes and dissolves proteins) and mango (which is rich is sugar which increases growth of gut bacteria to above normal levels). Just consume fruits in moderation and have unripe guava and black berries and you will be fine. As for your urine, there is a bit of difference between white and colourless urine since colourless urine is normal but white urine suggests an infection which needs to be treated as early as possible. You can have an online consult with me regarding the same so that your problems can be taken care of as early as possible.
