Question
A boy, 4 weeks old, has been ill for 3 weeks and is showing improvement. Red spots appear more on the lower body when they are more severe. They frequently recur.
Answer
Allergic purpura is a general term for purpura skin and mucosal bleeding with color change. Clinical manifestations include petechiae, purpura, and ecchymosis, generally not elevated above the skin surface, but may be slightly raised during allergic purpura. They start as purple-red, do not fade under pressure, and gradually become lighter, turning yellow and fading after about two weeks. To alleviate allergic purpura in this situation, the following points can be noted: rest, avoid excessive staying up late and overexertion, prevent cold and keep warm, avoid cold air stimulation. In addition, strengthen nutrition by eating more nutritious and easy-to-digest foods, more fresh vegetables, and supplementing vitamins. By taking these measures in a timely manner, the symptoms of allergic purpura can be alleviated.
