Question
What are the symptoms of mild thrombocytopenia in children?
Answer
Allergic purpura is one of the common diseases in children, belonging to an autoimmune disease characterized by an acute onset. Its pathological basis is a widespread capillaritis, with the main clinical manifestations being skin petechiae, gastrointestinal mucosal bleeding, joint swelling and pain, and nephritis. To prevent the exacerbation of symptoms, it is necessary to avoid contact with suspected allergens, discontinue suspected allergenic foods and medications. For chronic infections, active treatment should be provided to thoroughly clear the infection focus, and deworming treatment may be administered. For children with abdominal pain and joint swelling and pain, prednisone can be used for treatment.
