Question

A nine-year-old child has developed purple spots on their body and has been initially diagnosed with allergic purpura. How should pediatric allergic purpura be treated?

Answer

Allergic purpura, also known as hemorrhagic capillary toxicity, is a common microvascular vasculitis-related hemorrhagic disease. Treatment should first focus on identifying the cause of the allergy and avoiding it. If the specific cause is not clear, it is recommended to visit a large comprehensive hospital for detailed examination. If Western medicine treatment is not effective, consider integrating Chinese and Western medicine. During the treatment process, closely monitor the changes in the condition and follow medical instructions for appropriate dietary and lifestyle adjustments.
