Questions
Are purpura and epilepsy the same disease? If not, what are the specific differences between the two? How should one be cautious with allergic purpura? What are some foods that allergic purpura patients should avoid?
Answers
Allergic purpura and epilepsy are two different diseases. Allergic purpura is usually caused by food or drug allergies, primarily manifesting as purple or reddish spots and patches on the lower limbs. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, proteinuria, and joint pain. First, routine blood tests and urine analyses should be conducted to determine if there is any impact on the kidneys or abdomen. Topical corticosteroid creams can be used regionally, along with oral antihistamines. In terms of diet, it is important to avoid foods that may trigger allergies.
