Question
The child has had purple spots on their hand for two weeks, and treatment at home has been ineffective. We hope the doctor can provide some advice.
Answer
Considering it as a symptom of allergic purpura, which often comes with subcutaneous ecchymosis, the patient should rest as much as possible. The first-line treatment is adrenal cortical hormones, supplemented with drugs such as rutin, calcium, vitamin C, and cimetidine. Children have weaker immune systems and are more prone to vascular malformations. Parents should immediately take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment, and regular physical checks should be conducted.
