Question
A patient from Juxian County inquires about the treatment for allergic purpura that has not improved after more than a year.
Answer
Allergic purpura is an immune disease caused by the body’s reaction to allergens such as medications, foods, and pollen. Treatment usually involves anti-allergy therapy, vitamin supplementation, and improving vascular permeability. At the same time, it is important to avoid contact with allergens, and traditional Chinese medicine may be used as an adjunctive treatment.
