Hematologist (Pediatric) Questions low platelet count

Is there a diet to increase platelet count in my child?

My son had a recent infection that caused his platelet count to drop. He has now recovered from the infection, even though the platelet count still remains low. Is there a diet plan to help in increasing the platelet count?

No, diet does not help. You need more blood testing, platelet antibody, and blood culture to find the cause to be treated.
