Question
How to treat pediatric thrombocytopenia?
Answer
Thrombocytopenia can be caused by factors such as excessive platelet destruction, abnormal platelet distribution, medications, viruses, and radiation. Additionally, blood diseases like aplastic anemia and acute leukemia may also lead to thrombocytopenia, accompanied by anemia and leukopenia. If the platelet count is not very low, it is recommended to regularly check the platelet levels. Some medications that can increase platelet count can be used appropriately, but the most important thing is to find the cause and treat it accordingly.
