Patient's question:
Since May 25th, I have had a fever. From May 25th to May 31st, I received intravenous fluids and medication for upper respiratory tract infection. After blood tests and other physical examinations, I was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease on May 31st. I have a platelet count of over 700, and I have been taking medication for more than two weeks. Will the platelet count continue to decrease with continued medication?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the normal range of platelets is generally 100-300. Platelets greater than 400 are considered thrombocytosis. Mild thrombocytosis is often secondary and does not require treatment. Based on your description, there are no issues. This condition has little impact on the child's body. You can continue with consolidation treatment under the guidance of a doctor. It may improve with treatment. You can go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up after using the medication for a period of time.
