They give him better care and treatment they inject external platelets and they are 76000. But they are not increasing at good rate. So please tell me how much it will take to become 150000. please help me out.

Hi, the cause of low platelet count is important. Numbers are meaningless without the cause. If it's dengue then you need to monitor the platelets regularly and transfuse when less than 20000 or if bleeding present. For other causes need to treat the underlying problem.
