Again on the 4th of January the platelet count came down to 1,60,000. Kindly inform me about the subsequent course of treatment.

Answer

The query cannot be directed to the person you have addressed.
Pediatric Oncall replies: Since the platelet count is still in the normal range and the child is aymptomatic, one may wait and followup. If the platelet count decreases again, she needs to be evaluated for ITP and leukemia. ALso confirm the platelet adequacy on peripheral smear.
