<bot>: Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have ITP. It is immune thrombocytopenic purpura. In ITP your body is producing antibodies against your own platelets and causing destruction of platelets. You should take immunosuppressive Chat Doctor.  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/
