Question
Can pediatric purpura be cured?
Answer
Allergic purpura is one of the most common types of vasculitis in childhood, a reactive disease characterized by small vessel inflammation. The main features include skin purpura, normal platelets, and often accompanied by joint swelling, abdominal pain, hematochezia, and kidney involvement. The disease is more prevalent during winter and spring. If Western medicine is used, hormone therapy is generally employed. However, hormones have significant side effects, so it is recommended that you consult a pediatrician specializing in traditional Chinese medicine and consider treating allergic purpura with Chinese medicine, which can also be effective.
