Hi there.
Tylenol does not harm or interfere with platelet production...you may be thinking of Motrin (ibuprofen) which is not recommended for someone with a platelet problem.
What is even more concerning is why you are running a fever 24 hours a day? If you are neutropenic, with absolute neutrophil count 500 or less, you shouldn't be masking a fever with tylenol but rather high-tailing to the hospital for admission and IV antibiotic therapy. Fever is not OK and you must push for the answer behind it, your life depends on that.
Best wishes,
