Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have ITP. Its immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Your bofy cause destruction of platelets by producing antibodies. You should take immunosuppressive drugs like steroids to avoid destruction of platelets and maintain the platelet count. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
