Question
My friend’s child has purpura that recurs from time to time, and medication doesn’t seem to help. Could you please share some care methods for purpura?
Answer
This condition, allergic purpura, is quite serious and necessitates the use of combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment. Typically, Western medicine uses hormones for treatment, while traditional Chinese medicine focuses on clearing heat, detoxifying, and promoting blood circulation to resolve blood stasis. Care should include rest, avoiding colds, and not consuming spicy or irritating food.
