Hello doctor,
My 12-month-old baby girl got high platelet in her anemia blood test. Her hemoglobin and WBC are normal, her platelet was 1170. After three days we made a test again and got the result 960. What can I do now, Baby is fine. No unusual symptoms. Sometimes, she gets cold and fever but that is normal I guess. Is there anything to worry about?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your child's liver, spleen, and lymph nodes should be palpated to check for any enlargement, if present. Thrombocytosis is usually considered reactive when decreasing with time. Your child's platelet reduces in three days so mostly it will be reactive secondary high platelet for which no specific treatment is needed. But you need to repeat your child's CBC again after one week. If after one week it remains high, then you should consult a hematologist or pediatrician for detailed evaluation in my opinion.
