Question

What to Do About Purple Patches?

Answer

Purple patches are a spontaneous bleeding phenomenon that typically do not have obvious triggers or accompanying symptoms, making prevention somewhat challenging. According to traditional Chinese medicine, preventive measures should include strengthening the body, leading a regular lifestyle, avoiding overexertion, and ensuring adequate rest after onset. Moreover, there are many causes of pediatric blood diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a pediatric blood disease, parents should immediately cooperate with the doctor for treatment, which includes gastrointestinal decompression and helping the child develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be mindful to avoid their child’s picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
