Question
Regarding the treatment of allergic purpura, my child’s condition has been ongoing for some time, and parents are hesitant to administer medication arbitrarily. We kindly request the doctor to provide treatment recommendations.
Answer
For the treatment of allergic purpura, the first step is to care for the skin, observe the rash’s appearance, quantity, and location, and record its daily changes. If the rash is itchy, keep the skin clean to prevent scratches and injuries, and promptly treat any breaks to prevent bleeding and infection. At the same time, remove any potential allergens. Use hemostatic and desensitizing drugs as prescribed by the doctor. Throughout the treatment process, explain the specific situation as much as possible to help patients build confidence in overcoming the disease. Upon discharge, provide proper guidance so that parents can continue to observe the condition and reasonably adjust their child’s diet. Post-discharge, regular follow-up visits must be scheduled to detect kidney complications early.
