Hello, the process of increasing his platelets is not that simply described or easy to predict. It sounds like his platelets were decreased due to the infection with Babesia. Therefore, if he has been undergoing treatment for his low platelets, then I would have expected that his number would've increased. Platelets are made in the bone marrow, and the turn around time can be within a day. The best way to truly tell if his platelets have improved is to have them checked with another cbc. Hope this helps and best of luck.
