Baby Has Low Platelet. What Is The Recommended Treatment Step?
My son is 1 month old. When he was born he had to go to nicu because of suspected infection . He also had low platelet of 0000. The platelets increased to 0000 in the week he was in nicu. He was released from nicu and at his 1 month visit had dropped platelets to 0000. His physician didn t seem to be worried about this, should we get second opinion?
I cannot see any of those platelet counts.
Instead i can see only 0000.
A sepsis in new born baby can result in low platelet count.
I can comment on the same only if i have the current count.
Since your doctor is not worried may be they are in the normal range.
Request you to write back with the platelet count of your baby.
