What should I do if my child's platelet count is only 69,000?

Patient's question:

On the 9th, it was found that there was blood in the urine. Upon examination at the hospital, it was discovered that the platelet count was only 69,000. Hospital treatment was initiated, and by the 11th, it had recovered to 110,000. Today, it has dropped again to 68,000. What treatment plan is safe and feasible?
Duration and onset of this illness: 9-12
What medications should be taken? Are there any Chinese herbal remedies?

Doctor's answer:

red-skinned peanuts and red mushrooms, which are beneficial for platelet production. If necessary, platelet transfusion is the fastest and best method. I don't know what type of thrombocytopenia you have, but hematuria indicates some damage to the kidneys. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine treatment to reduce kidney damage. The normal platelet count is 100,000 to 300,000, and yours is 60,000, indicating a decrease in platelet count. Currently, the most critical step is to identify the cause of the reduction. It is recommended to first undergo a blood test review at the hospital, and if necessary, a bone marrow puncture can be performed to check the bone marrow condition and conduct immunological tests to rule out related diseases such as aplastic anemia.
