are there any more options to increase platelet?

Have you tried WinRho? (non-splenectomized, Rho(D) positive patients only) A splenectomy is only performed after all other treatments have failed. How old is your daughter? Try researching ITP here: http://www.pdsa.org/index.htm
The treatments for ITP are very expensive, yes. I'm assuming you do not have insurance and are not from the U.S.? Maybe a consultation with another hematologist would prove helpful.
I'm very surprised she didn't go into remission. Most children with ITP recover well. I will continue to pray you find the answers you need to get her well. :)
