Suggest Treatment For High Platelet Count .

My 15 month child has high platelet count.- 474. I have Beta Thalassemia trait. she probably inherited it from me. The doctor is waiting on that result. Most of her other CBC numbers look like mine except the platelet count being high. Please advise.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
If the other parameters are fine and the child is otherwise healthy, there is no need to worry about platelet count of 474. it is quite okay. Even if she has thal trait, nothing to worry.
Hope this helps.
Regards
