Patient's question:
Why do children more often get purpura? What is the best treatment for purpura?Doctor's answer:
Allergic purpura is one of the most common vasculitides in children. The etiology of this disease is still unclear and may be related to factors such as infection, vaccination, food, drugs, and genetics. First, we need to clarify that allergic purpura in children has a self-limiting nature, meaning it can resolve on its own without medication. However, treatment is required in the following cases: 1. Severe rash. 2. Acute joint pain. 3. Abdominal pain. 4. Hematuria or proteinuria in a urinalysis.
