Question
My niece is 7 years old and was diagnosed with allergic purpura two weeks ago. The hospital has prescribed antiallergic medication and VC tablets, but the treatment makes me worried. What should I do next?
Answer
Pediatric purpura is one of the most common bleeding disorders in pediatrics. It is characterized by purple spots or ecchymoses on the skin that do not fade. It often accompanied by symptoms such as nosebleeds, gum bleeding, and joint bleeding. This condition is often caused by children with weak physical constitution and incomplete organ function, and traditional Chinese medicine believes that various factors can lead to poor blood circulation and leakage into meridians.
