Hi, my son has been suffering from ITP with low platelet count for the last four years. He is currently 13 years old. He was given MABTAS in 2015, which improved his platelet count, but the problem has resurfaced one month ago?

Your sons low platelets returning after years suggests recurrence of ITP. Though Mabtas helped before, further evaluation is needed now. A hematologist can reassess his condition, monitor platelet levels, and decide on further treatment or observation based on severity.

Dear Sir/Madam, I need urgent advice on how to increase my platelet count. Due to dengue, my platelet count has been decreasing day by day. Please suggest what I can do urgently to raise my platelet levels.

My father is suffering from low platelet count. Every time his test report shows between 45,000 to 15,000 per microliter. He was admitted to the hospital for a week, and the last day report showed 95,000 per microliter. Now the doctor has recommended a bone marrow test. Our whole family is worried. Please suggest. I am from Kanpur, UP.
