Question
The child is a male, one year old, and has been experiencing symptoms for over two months. There are bleeding spots and ecchymoses on the limbs, with platelet counts consistently below 20, the lowest being 0. The doctor says the normal range is between 100 to 300, so we are very worried. We hope experts can provide some treatment advice.
Answer
The treatment of thrombocytopenic purpura requires taking symptomatic Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine has definite efficacy with no side effects. Western medicine such as intravenous immunoglobulin and hormone drugs can only temporarily alleviate symptoms but cannot cure the condition fundamentally. Please refer to the relevant articles on my personal website for more information. Since your child is quite young, taking Chinese medicine may be difficult, so please consider carefully.
