Patient's question:
My child developed joint purpura seven weeks ago. After hormone treatment, the joint symptoms disappeared, but occasional skin purpura still occurs. However, it hasn't appeared in the past ten days. The allergy test did not show any allergic items. May I ask if it's okay to eat some meat? Should I start with chicken or lean meat first?Doctor's answer:
1) If a child experiences allergic symptoms after consuming meat, eggs, dairy, or other foods, they should immediately stop eating them. Especially for children with a tendency to allergies, these foods are more likely to trigger allergic reactions in the body, leading to other health issues.2) A child's diet should primarily consist of light and nutritious foods. Avoid spicy, fried, or greasy foods, and do not overeat at any meal to prevent burdening the digestive system, which could lead to illness.
3) If a child with allergic purpura experiences abdominal pain, they should avoid foods high in fiber or vegetables, such as celery, as these may worsen the condition.
4) Pay attention to a diet that is both nutritious and easy to digest, allowing the child to better absorb nutrients and maintain regular bowel movements. If you have any further questions, you can consult a reputable dermatology hospital!
