Introduction
A platelet count of 68 generally refers to 68×10^9/L, which is usually not very serious and is considered a mild reduction. Medications such as methylprednisolone tablets or prednisone acetate tablets may be used. In addition, for mild thrombocytopenia, immunomodulatory drugs such as cyclophosphamide tablets or amphotericin peptide tablets can be taken orally under a doctor's guidance, effectively enhancing the body's metabolism and resistance to disease.

Platelets are a common type of cell in the human body. A platelet count of 68×10^9/L indicates mild thrombocytopenia, which is commonly caused by viral infections. It often leads to symptoms such as fatigue. As platelet levels decrease, mucosal bleeding may occur, with common symptoms including gum bleeding and nosebleeds. This condition can be treated through dietary adjustments and oral medications.
In daily life, consuming more foods that nourish qi and blood—such as red dates, lean meat, and fish—can effectively provide nutritional support to the body and promote recovery. Under a doctor's guidance, mild thrombocytopenia can also be treated with appropriate doses of corticosteroid medications, such as methylprednisolone tablets or prednisone acetate tablets.
In addition, under medical supervision, immunomodulatory drugs like cyclophosphamide tablets or amphotericin tablets may also be used to treat mild platelet reduction. These medications can effectively enhance metabolism and the body's resistance, helping to increase platelet counts.
