Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 4 year old son has had two nosebleeds in the past few days. He had acute ITP when he was 13 months old, and I can t get the image of the kids in the pediatric oncology center where he was treated out of my mind. Is this worth a visit to the doctor for a blood test, or should I wait a few more days?
since he has a medical history for acute Itp, it's advisable to safely rule out
hemoglobin, platelets, aptt, pt should be good enough . if anything abnormal in the reports it's advisable to visit a specialist.Also keep an eye on spots over the body or any other bleeding manifestations or symptoms that's is relevant. I hope his helps
