QUERY TO BOOST PLATELET COUNT

Question

Asked for Male, 26 Years

I am suffering from low platelet count since 3 years. My platelet count remains below 1.5 lakh always. Somewhere around 80k to 1.2 lakh. One doctor told me that I am suffering from Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura . What is it ? The people with ITP would surely be at greater risk if they catch Dengue because their platelets are already low and Dengue will lower it down as well. How can we increase platelet count ? Can Folic Acid and Carica Papaya leaf extract increase the platelet count ? I have also seen doctors prescribing antibiotics in dengue whereas dengue is a viral disease ? Why ?
