Hello,
I agree with your doctor on the recommendation for steroids, which can help increase the platelet count. The next step would be performing a bone marrow biopsy in order to investigate for the possible causes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
