Treatment for ITP in children depends on the severity of the condition and the symptoms. Many children with mild symptoms do not require treatment and can be monitored through regular follow-ups. For those with significant bleeding or very low platelet counts, treatment options may include:
Corticosteroids to reduce immune system activity Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to boost platelet count temporarily Anti-D immunoglobulin for certain patients In severe cases, splenectomy (removal of the spleen) may be considered
