Patient's question:
The child, on the 14th, was carefully examined and diagnosed with acute upper respiratory infection. The blood count was high, with platelets at 479. They received intravenous fluids for 5 days. Now everything is normal except that the platelet count has increased to 813.Doctor's answer:
Primary thrombocythemia is a primary myeloproliferative disorder, for which there is currently no effective cure. The most common treatment method is long-term oral hydroxyurea tablets or anesthetic interferon to suppress excessive platelet cell division. Regular follow-up blood tests are necessary to closely monitor the dynamic changes in platelet counts, and medication should be adjusted promptly based on the results. Infection can also occur, so it is recommended to re-examine after 2 weeks. If the count does not rise, a bone marrow examination should be conducted.
