[|AI|]  Hi, ITP most commonly occur only once, but in some it recurs and very rarely becomes chronic. Treatment of recurrent and chronic ITP is complex, need regular follow up and may need bone marrow examination, sometimes more than once, to rule out other important conditions. Apart from IVG and steroids, other immune suppressive agents are also used in resistant cases. It will be better for you to follow up with a pediatric hematologist. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
