Question
Six months ago, a child was diagnosed with thrombocytopenic purpura, and the doctor advised to avoid vaccination within the first six months. Now that more than half a year has passed, the parents want to know if it’s safe to vaccinate their child, and whether the disease may recur or other abnormal conditions may arise.
Answer
Before considering vaccination, it is recommended to continue observing and consulting with the doctor. Thrombocytopenic purpura in children is usually self-limiting, with about 80% of children able to naturally recover within six months. Acute thrombocytopenic purpura can generally heal on its own and is considered a benign condition. The focus of treatment is to identify and avoid allergens, and to take medication under the guidance of a doctor. At this stage, to prevent recurrence, it is best to avoid vaccination.
