Is children's purpura serious?

Patient's question:

Medical Description (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): My child has been diagnosed with allergic purpura, experiencing abdominal pain, vomiting, and red spots on the legs, and cannot walk. Previous Treatment and Effect: At Xingcheng Hospital, they confirmed that it cannot be treated and requested transfer. Desired Help: I want to be treated at your hospital.

Doctor's answer:

Allergic purpura is a type of allergic vasculitis that affects capillaries and small arteries in the skin or other organs, and the allergenic factors should be identified and eliminated. For simple cases, Rutin compound, calcium supplements, vitamin C, and antihistamines can be used. For fever and arthritis, corticosteroids can be administered, but they cannot prevent kidney involvement. For persistent chronic nephritis, immunosuppressants may be added. Additionally, it is important to avoid allergens, supplement with vitamins, maintain a regular routine, and recovery is possible.
