Question

What are the treatment methods for pediatric allergic purpura?

Answer

Allergic purpura is a common pediatric disease, and treatment is generally not too difficult. Generally speaking, pediatricians in regular hospitals can provide appropriate treatment. It is recommended to go to a children’s hospital and have a dermatology consultation and evaluation. Treatment may include traditional Chinese medicine, antihistamines, and corticosteroid therapy when necessary. The prognosis is usually good for those with only skin involvement, but if it involves the gastrointestinal tract, joints, or kidneys, close observation is required as they may recur or be difficult to heal. It is advisable to seek professional medical assistance from regular three-level A hospitals.
