Patient's question:
A 4-year-old boy with viral influenza has had a high fever for four days, but the fever keeps recurring without subsiding. He went to the hospital for a blood test and found that his platelet count had dropped to 53 (normal range: 100-300), his CRP was 11, and his reticulocyte count was 0.4. The platelet count has not yet recovered. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Artificial intervention leads to chronicization, and medication is still needed. We will know if it has rebounded after blood tests. The most common thrombocytopenic disease in children is idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which is a blood system disease with an unknown specific cause and is often related to immune function. It is recommended that you take your child to a local regular hospital for a bone marrow puncture examination. Diagnosis must be confirmed before treatment!
