My daughter was diagnosed with ITP after a year of frequent Strep infections, platelets down to 2000, all other labs normal. Steroids had no effect, IVIG with only temporary improvement. Eltrombopag is working well but she is experiencing a lot of nausea and fatigue. Does anyone have experience with Avatrombopag? No one will touch her tonsils, but we are wondering if they are continuing to stimulate her autoimmune antibodies, regardless of negative swabs.

@holly5, I believe other members like @agfromtheuk @johnbowrey @et09 @lfn2124 have experience with avatrombopag (brand name Doptelet)that they may be able to share.

Holly, has your daughter changed medications?
