Question
How should I handle a child with elevated platelet counts, occasional dizziness, and swollen lips?
Answer
Based on platelet count measurements from 2011 to the present, the highest recorded count was 519, and there have been occasional episodes of dizziness and noticeable swelling of the lips. A bone marrow biopsy revealed the condition to be idiopathic thrombocytosis. There is no known effective treatment at this time. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and take oral blood circulation and blood stasis medicine. Oral Sanqi tablets may also be considered for treatment. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene habits and cooperate with gastrointestinal pressure-reducing measures are advised. In terms of diet, attention should be paid to a reasonable balance and to avoid irritating and cold foods.
