Question

What dietary precautions should a child with purpura nephritis take after recovery?

Answer

Firstly, it is important to avoid various adverse factors that may trigger the disease, including foods that may cause allergic purpura nephritis, such as fish, shrimp, crab, pollen, milk, and more. Secondly, attention should be given to keeping warm, preventing colds, engaging in moderate exercise to enhance physical fitness and disease resistance. Additionally, after the illness, bed rest should be maintained to avoid overexertion, sexual activity should be moderated, and smoking and alcohol should be abstained from. The diet should be nutritious and easy to digest, with an emphasis on fresh vegetables and fruits. For patients with hematuria, spicy and hot foods and seafood that may cause allergies, such as chicken, seafood, beef, mutton, and goose, should be avoided to prevent exacerbation of the condition. For patients with proteinuria, excessive intake of high-protein diets should be avoided to prevent indigestion.
