Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Caripil (papaya leaf extract) capsules are good for increasing platelets. Once it will start increasing then you don't need to worry. You should also take plenty of fluids, chewable vitamin C with amino acids like citravite and take proper rest.
Platelet counts should be rechecked every day till it shows the tendancy to increase. If it is below 1 lack and further decreasing then better to consult your doctor. If it decrease very low like 20000 or below and keep the tendancy to decrease further then platelet transfusion might be needed also.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
