Question
The symptoms of a child’s allergic purpura are intermittent, and occasionally renal function tests show abnormalities, with hematuria present. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
The treatment for allergic purpura typically focuses on actively seeking and addressing potential causes, known as etiological treatment. For purpura with only skin symptoms, it is recommended to prioritize rest and avoid excessive medication use. In some severe cases, antihistamines, antiplatelet aggregation drugs, or even corticosteroids may be required. It is advisable for parents to take their child to the hospital for examination and treatment promptly and to pay attention to rest and a light diet in daily life, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods.
