Hello and welcome to HCM,
ITP is a disease of platelets for which the underlying cause is not known.
Viral infection is the most probable cause of ITP.
Treatment of ITP consists of steroids, however, most of the infectious episodes are self limiting and are cured once viral infection clears.
Thus, you should follow your doctors advise and there is no need for any other kind of treatment.
Thanks and take care
