Doctor's answer:
The child's condition can be diagnosed as Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura. This disease falls under the category of "facing spots" in traditional Chinese medicine, caused by pathogenic heat injuring the blood, resembling the symptoms of "yang spots." The treatment focuses on clearing heat, detoxifying, cooling blood, and resolving blood stasis. A commonly used modified Xijiao Dihuang Decoction includes: 1 gram of rhino horn, 15 grams of honeysuckle, 10 grams each of Forsythia, viola, and peony root, 6 grams of Salvia miltiorrhiza, 15 grams each of Rehmannia glutinosa and whiteroot, and 30 grams of red bean. For severe purpura with dark color, indicating excessive toxic heat, add 0.5 to 0.75 grams of Zisu Dan to be taken orally 1 to 2 times daily. For severe abdominal pain, add 15 grams of Corydalis and 6 grams of Myrrh. For hematuria, add 10 grams each of carbonized polygala and carbonized plum blossom, or 1.5 grams of Panax notoginseng powder to be taken orally. If the child has excessive bleeding, prolonged bleeding, pale complexion, palpitations, shortness of breath, and other symptoms, it indicates deficiency of both qi and blood, with the spleen failing to control blood. The treatment focuses on nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi, and controlling blood. A commonly used modified Guipi Decoction includes: 15 grams of Codonopsis, 10 grams each of white Atractylodes, longan pulp, and Poria, 15 grams of prepared Rehmannia, 10 grams each of donkey-hide gelatin and carbonized polygala, and 5 jujubes. For qi deficiency, add 15 grams of Astragalus. For blood deficiency, add 10 grams each of white peony root and Polygonatum, or prepared Rehmannia. The above suggestions are for the question "How can Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura be fully cured?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
