Question
How can parents prevent the recurrence of petechiae after a child recovers? What specific steps should they take?
Answer
Petechiae can easily recur, so parents need to carefully observe their child’s daily life and avoid possible allergens, including foods containing heterologous proteins in the diet, such as seafood, milk, and eggs. In the initial stages, children should avoid excessive fatigue or intense exercise. Maintaining good personal hygiene and keeping the bedroom clean, as well as providing a favorable sleeping environment, all contribute to the recovery of petechiae and help prevent a recurrence of the condition.
