Hi!
welcome to HCM!
It is important to note that, even though, the platelet numbers are decreased in thrombocytopenia, their function usually remains completely intact.
The treatment of thrombocytopenia is largely dependent upon the cause and the severity of the condition.
In general, platelet transfusion is not necessary, unless an individual with low platelets (less than 50,000) has an active bleeding or hemorrhage, Sometimes, transfusion may be recommended without any bleeding if the platelet count is less than 10,000.
If a drug is thought to be the cause of low platelet count, then it may be discontinued . In auto-immune thrombocytopenia or ITP, steroids can be used to weaken the immune system in order to impair the attack on platelets.
Take healthy well balanced diet with plenty of fluids and wait for the B.M result.
Hope this helps you!
Take care!

THERE IS NO MEDICINE TO INCREASE PLATELETS EITHER WE TREAT THE CAUSE FROM WHICH THEY ARE DAMAGED
WE CAN INCREASE BY TRANSFUSING PLATELETS
OR BY HEDEROTHERAPY

USE LIQUIDS AFTER EVERY 15 MINUTES IN ANY FORM FROM FEW TEASPOON FULL TO MAXIMUN YOU CAN TAKE
