Question

My daughter has been diagnosed with allergic purpura, characterized by unevenly distributed, varying-sized purple spots on the ankle to the lower part of the calf, accompanied by swelling and pain in the lower calf. How should allergic purpura be treated?

Answer

The treatment for allergic purpura can include intravenous therapy. If bacterial infection is suspected, consider appropriate antibiotic treatment, but the main treatment approach is antiallergic and hemostatic therapy. Based on the description, the onset of allergic purpura is often related to infections and allergies. It is recommended to eliminate factors such as dental caries, tonsillitis, upper respiratory tract infections, drug and food allergies. It is suggested to undergo corresponding laboratory tests at a hospital for diagnosis and then adopt conventional treatment. In most cases, the condition can be cured or improved. Do not delay medical attention.
