Question
What are the symptoms of mild petechiae in children?
Answer
Allergic purpura is one of the common diseases in children, belonging to an autoimmune disease characterized by its acute onset. The pathological basis is widespread capillaritis, with skin purpura, gastrointestinal mucosal bleeding, joint swelling, pain, and nephritis as the main clinical manifestations. Avoid contact with suspected allergens and discontinue consumption of suspected allergenic foods and medications. For those with chronic infections, active treatment should be provided to thoroughly eliminate infection foci and consider deworming treatment. Prednisone may be used for those with abdominal pain and joint swelling.
