Question
What should parents do when their six-year-old son has recurrent allergic purpura?
Answer
Allergic purpura is a vascular allergic reaction disease that usually occurs when the body is allergic to various substances, leading to decreased capillary fragility and subsequent purpura. Treatment typically involves corticosteroid shock therapy in the acute phase and slow maintenance therapy in the remission phase. It is crucial to identify and avoid contact with the causative allergens during treatment. Additionally, during corticosteroid therapy, it is essential to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions and take medication regularly to prevent recurrence.
