Question
There is swelling in the waist and legs, accompanied by a few red spots. I have received treatment at a hospital and a children’s hospital, and the symptoms have disappeared, but the allergen has not been identified. Can the allergen be detected, and what preventive measures should be taken in the future?
Answer
Allergic purpura is a common microvascular Allergic bleeding disorders,whose causes may include infections, food allergies, drug allergies, pollen or insect bites, etc., but the allergen is often difficult to determine. Treatment methods include controlling infections, supplementing vitamins, using corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, and anticoagulant therapy. This condition has a good prognosis, and the treatment process usually lasts for 12 weeks. It is recommended to undergo allergen testing at a provincial hospital to identify the allergen. In terms of diet, it is important to avoid animal protein and to introduce potential allergenic foods in small amounts under close observation.
