Treatment for ITP varies depending on the severity of the condition and the presence of bleeding symptoms. Options include:
Observation: Often sufficient for children with mild symptoms as the condition can resolve on its own. Corticosteroids: Used to suppress the immune system and increase platelet count. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG): Helps to increase platelet count more rapidly. Anti-D immunoglobulin: An option for Rh-positive children. Platelet transfusions: Reserved for severe bleeding episodes.
