Answer
For patients with refractory chronic nephritis, immunosuppressants such as cyclophosphamide or azathioprine can be used. They can be used in combination with corticosteroids. For symptomatic treatment, fever and joint pain can be treated with antipyretic analgesics such as indomethacin or Fenbid; for abdominal pain, scopolamine can be taken orally or administered intramuscularly. Children suffering from pediatric allergic purpura need immediate medical attention by their families to avoid using unscrupulous over-the-counter medications. It is essential to use medication rationally. Parents should provide their children with enough care and attention and do their best to help them receive timely treatment for their illness.
