Question

After discontinuing corticosteroid treatment, can children with purpura gradually resume meat consumption, and which type of meat should they start with?

Answer

Doctors advise that children with the condition should avoid foods that may cause allergic reactions, such as meats, eggs, and dairy products. If they wish to gradually resume meat consumption, it is recommended to start with small amounts of low-allergen chicken and gradually increase the intake. At the same time, they should maintain a light diet, avoiding overly greasy or spicy foods to prevent adding to the digestive system’s burden. For children with purpura experiencing abdominal pain, high-fiber foods like celery should be avoided. In summary, the diet should focus on balanced nutrition and ease of digestion, and it is advisable to consult a professional doctor or nutritionist for more detailed dietary advice.
