What precautions should be taken when a child is diagnosed with Henoch-Schönlein Purpura?

To prevent the recurrence of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura, the most effective method is to avoid known allergens. If the allergen is not clear, it is recommended to bring the child to the hospital for an allergen test to determine the cause. Additionally, it is encouraged to have the child regularly participate in sports to enhance immunity and prevent colds. It is also very important to eliminate sources of infection and avoid upper respiratory infections. In terms of diet, spicy foods should be avoided, and white rice, bread, and corn should be the main food sources, with an emphasis on consuming fruits, vegetables, and melons. Keeping warm to prevent colds and controlling and preventing infections is also important. For confirmed infections or sources of infection, sensitive antibiotics should be used for treatment, but avoid non-targeted preventive use of antibiotics.
