Question
A 6-year-old girl is not feeling well recently, and we are not sure what the matter is. How is Henoch-Schönlein purpura caused?
Answer
Henoch-Schönlein purpura is an autoimmune disease, and there is no definitive explanation for the cause of the disease in clinical diagnosis. However, experiments indicate that it may be triggered by viral infections, drug allergies, and other factors. The main clinical symptoms include recurrent skin rashes, and some patients may also experience symptoms such as fever and joint pain. Do not have any psychological pressure, maintain a cheerful mood, and during this period, pay attention to adequate rest and maintain a healthy diet. Avoid greasy and spicy foods as much as possible; this will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
