Is Red Spots On Feet And Leg Sign Of Low Platelet Count?

I think my grand daughter may have low platelet count, but she can t go to the Dr. until her insurance kicks in in about 3 months. She has red spots that started in her feet and moved upwards. Is there anything she can do until she can confirm a diagnosis?
