Question
How should acute pediatric purpura be treated? This condition has been ongoing for some time, and parents are concerned, hoping to receive professional medical advice.
Answer
Allergic purpura is treatable, but it can be more challenging if complications such as kidney damage leading to nephrotic syndrome occur. Allergic purpura is a disease of abnormal reaction in small blood vessels, not caused by mosquito bites, and is common in children under 10 years old, with a few adults also experiencing it. The treatment principle is antiallergic treatment, which may include hormones, calcium supplements, vitamin C, and diphenhydramine. The patient has already taken oral hormones and it is recommended to continue the treatment. This condition can be diagnosed and treated at the general medicine department of a hospital, and it is advised to visit the hospital’s general medicine outpatient clinic. If conditions permit, allergen testing can be conducted.
