Hi,
It could be thrombocytopenia secondary to severe bone marrow disease or destruction of platelets in the blood like ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura). keep her out of sports or any kind of minimal trauma as it can cause severe bleeding. Once the diagnosis is made, she will get treatment. All the best.
