Hi, you need to search for the cause of such low platelets count. It may ITP, DIC or sever viral infection leading to plastic anemia or many more causes are the. You should consult hematologist and go for entire coagulation profile, bone marrow examination and other investigation. Search for the cause of thrombocytopenia and take treatment accordingly.
