Patient's question:
Purpura and allergic rhinitis. Poor appetite, unwilling to eat dinner, weight 18 kg. 2 weeks, the cause may be the intake of allergic foods: mushrooms.Previous treatment and effectiveness: First, allergic rhinitis was noticed, and Cetirizine and Montelukast chewable tablets were taken for 2 weeks. Later, small red spots of varying sizes appeared on the calves, accompanied by abdominal pain. When seen at the hospital, the doctor suspected allergic purpura, and Cetirizine and Montelukast chewable tablets were still taken, along with Vitamin C. These red spots faded quickly and disappeared within 2 days, turning into pale purple, but it seemed that new small red spots kept appearing. Today, swelling was noticed on the lower right calf, and the child said it hurts. Really don’t know what to do?
Additionally, the child used to drink milk every day without any allergies. However, allergic purpura prohibits milk, eggs, shrimp, etc. Can milk still be consumed now? Can freshwater fish and duck eggs be eaten?
Desired assistance: Please respond as soon as possible. Thank you!

Suppress and prevent infection, use sensitive antibiotics when there is clear infection or focus of infection, but avoid blindly using antibiotics for prophylactic purposes.
