Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.ITP is immune thrombocytopenic purpura. In ITP there is immune mediated destruction of platelets and it leads to low platelets count and bleeding. Mainstay of treatment is immunosuppressive Chat Doctor.  He can also take immunoglobulins. Consult your doctor and start steroid treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/
