Have Red Spots All Over Body. Diagnosed As ITP. Gets Cured Until Daltacalten Is Taken. Suggest Some Solution
My name is Iltaf and my son is 12 years old. About seven months ago, red spots were all over his body. The doctor said that his platelets cells were dead and he has something called ITP . When we used daltacalten tablets, my son started to recover, but when we stopped the medicine, the platelet counts are low again. Now my son eats papaya leaves, the juice of all vegetables and fruits but his platelets are not recovering. If somebody has any solution, treatment or information about it, please let me know. my mailing address is ( YYYY@YYYY )

Dear Iltaf,
I hope you meant tab deltacortene (predisone).
ITP can be controlled with steroids and on stopping the condition could worsen.
pl. do not stop important medicines without medical advice. uncontrolled ITP could be dangerous. pl. resume appropriate scientific treatment under medical guidance.
take care. good luck
