Question
The child has been diagnosed with allergic purpura, and the parents inquire whether it is safe to give the child traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
Answer
Doctors recommend that traditional Chinese medicine should only be used under the guidance of a professional healthcare provider for treating allergic purpura. While traditional Chinese medicine can sometimes be used as an adjunctive treatment, the efficacy of using it alone to treat allergic purpura has not been fully substantiated. Therefore, parents should collaborate with their child’s primary doctor to develop the most suitable treatment plan for their child.
