Question

What are the treatment methods for pediatric Henoch-Schönlein Purpura?

Answer

Pediatric Henoch-Schönlein Purpura is a common vascular allergic reaction disease. Its treatment methods include symptomatic treatment and etiological treatment. Symptomatic treatment mainly involves controlling symptoms, such as using antihistamines to alleviate skin symptoms and using pain relievers to manage joint pain and abdominal pain. Etiological treatment requires identifying and avoiding contact with allergens to prevent recurrence of the disease. Additionally, for children with kidney damage, special treatment may be required, such as the use of corticosteroids or other medications. During treatment, the doctor will develop an individualized treatment plan based on the specific condition of the child.
