Question
How long should a child with immune thrombocytopenia stop taking danazol after stopping Medrol for 16 days, with a platelet count of 268, and having already taken danazol for 100 days, three times a day, one pill each time, without increasing the dose? How much longer do they need to continue the medication?
Answer
Immune thrombocytopenia in children is a chronic condition that requires long-term treatment. It is necessary to wait until the platelet count is completely normal before gradually increasing the medication dosage and undergoing periodic check-ups.
