Question
Can children’s purpura be contagious?
Answer
Pediatric allergic purpura is caused by various factors, including infections, food allergies, and drug allergies, but it is not a contagious disease. Although it may recur, especially during the winter and spring seasons, it does not spread from person to person. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this condition is caused by evil heat damaging the blood, and treatment focuses on clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling the blood, and resolving stasis. Common herbal formulas include Jiawei Jie Gao Decoction.
