Patient's question:
My daughter is now 6 months old. She has had a fever for more than 3 days recently, with unstable body temperature. She has been taking children's fever reducer continuously, which may have caused stomach discomfort due to excessive diet and medication. She went to the hospital for a check-up and found that her total platelet count was 87. Based on the above data about platelets, is there a possibility of purpura?Doctor's answer:
This is a decrease in platelet count caused by medication, don't worry, it will recover on its own after stopping the medication for a period of time. It is considered that the drug has caused thrombocytopenia, and it will return to normal after stopping the medication. It is recommended not to overuse anti-inflammatory drugs in the absence of inflammation, and one or two traditional Chinese medicine treatments can be chosen. It is recommended that you go to a regular professional hospital for examination and treatment, pay attention to keeping the skin clean and dry, and the diet should be light.
