Question
A friend’s child has purple spots that keep recurring, and medication doesn’t seem to help. What are the nursing methods for purple spots?
Answer
Firstly, it is essential to avoid all types of allergenic foods. Food allergy is a significant cause of this condition, as many foods contain foreign proteins that can trigger allergic purpura. These foods include fish, shrimp, crab, eggs, milk, peanuts, and pineapples. If a patient discovers that a certain food causes an allergic reaction, they should permanently stop consuming it and avoid using cooking utensils and tableware that have come into contact with this food. Additionally, patients with allergic purpura should also avoid eating fresh flower buds and other vegetables they have never tried before, as there have been reports that plant pollen is also a common allergen.
