Platelets are tiny cells in your blood that help stop bleeding. When you get a cut, platelets stick to the wound and form a clot to stop the blood from flowing.
Doctors check your platelet levels with blood tests to make sure they’re normal. If you have too few platelets, you might bleed easily. If you have too many, you might get blood clots.
To keep your platelets healthy, eat a good diet and stay hydrated. If you’re concerned about your platelet levels, see your doctor
