Treatment Recommendations for Idiopathic Thrombocytosis

A child with thrombocytosis inquires about how to lower platelet counts.

Primary thrombocytosis is a primary bone marrow abnormal proliferation disease with no effective cure method at present.

Is a platelet count of 404*10^9/L at age 11 considered normal, and do further checks need to be conducted?

Discuss the possible causes of elevated platelet count in children, including dyspepsia, cold, tonsillitis, and provide professional medical advice.

Discuss the treatment methods for children with Kawasaki disease who have platelet counts exceeding 700, as well as the impact of continued medication on lowering platelet counts.

My nine-month-old son had a fever and viral cold with throat ulcers and was hospitalized for six days. When discharged, his blood platelet count was 500, and it was 545 the next day. The doctor suspected ‘Kawasaki disease,’ but there were no symptoms of Kawasaki disease. I’m desperate and don’t know what the cause is. I hope for an answer, thank you!
