Question

I had idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura half a year ago and it has healed on its own. Recently, I’ve been experiencing symptoms of fever and cough. I’m wondering if I can take Compound Fentanyl Oral Solution.

Answer

  1. General Care: It is recommended for the patient to rest, reduce activity, and avoid collisions. When the platelet count is below 20×109/L, complete bed rest is advised to prevent skin damage or intracranial hemorrhage.
  2. Medication Treatment: Carbazochrome and vitamin C can be used to constrict blood vessels and stabilize capillary permeability, thereby reducing skin damage.
  3. Glucocorticoids: If there are no contraindications, this is the main treatment drug with an efficacy rate of up to 85%. Commonly used drugs include prednisone. For patients with severe conditions, consider intravenous administration of dexamethasone or methylprednisolone, and switch to oral administration after symptoms improve.
