You can have a papaya leaf extract to help increase the platelet count. You can have the papaya leaf juice which will help increase the platelet count or the extract tablet/syrup has shown to be effective in increasing the platelet count. As for the rest of the treatment since she's hospitalized there's nothing to worry about, just follow the treatment and she'll be fine.
