Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have ITP. It is immuno thombocytopenic purpura. In ITP your body is producing antibodies against your own platelets and causing destruction of platelets. You should take immunosupressive drugs like steroids. Immunoglobulins are also helpful. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Continue with your other treatment.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health
