Patient's question:
Large, recently nausea, vomiting, and cough, went to the hospital for treatment for several days, the blood platelet count rose to over 700, no nausea, vomiting, and cough. Now it has dropped back to over 800. Past treatment and effects: No history of allergies or hereditary transmission, but the child's anemia is a bit severe. What kind of help is needed: What kind of treatment can lower the blood platelet count? Can you give many good suggestions? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The platelet count constant is 100~300, and anything below 400 is termed thrombocythemia. There are two reasons for this:1. Primary thrombocythemia: This is seen in myeloproliferative disorders, such as chronic myeloid leukemia, polycythemia vera, primary thrombocythemia, and early stages of myelofibrosis.
2. Secondary (reactive) thrombocythemia: The most common causes include skin trauma, (unspecified inflammatory/suppurative conditions), malignancies, iron deficiency, post-splenectomy, and chronic myeloid leukemia (unspecified).
Based on your description, it is recommended to undergo further detailed examination to diagnose the underlying cause and treat it accordingly. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
The above advice is for the question "My child's platelet count is currently 880." I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
