Question
Why do children experience recurrent attacks after receiving ITP treatment? How should parents deal with this issue?
Answer
The treatment recommendations for pediatric ITP advocate for a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which not only enhances the child’s constitution but also reduces the side effects of Western medicine. Most children respond quite well to this type of treatment. However, some children may require a longer treatment period, during which their condition may have recurrent episodes. During the process of reducing medication, treatment plans should be adjusted based on the results of blood routine checks. The general duration of medication is 1 to 2 months, and prolonged use may lead to significant side effects. It is recommended that parents continue to follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment and ensure that the child has adequate rest in daily life.
