Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
First of all you need to confirm diagnosis whether it is ITP or SLE.
For that you should go for bone marrow examination and ANA profile. It will give you exact diagnosis whether your son has ITP or SLE or both. Then you should start treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
