How can Henoch-Schönlein purpura be cured quickly?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, there were purplish-red patches on the lower leg. After receiving injections for 6 days, the condition improved significantly, but it recurred after another 2 days.

Doctor's answer:

Immunosuppressants: For refractory chronic nephritis patients, cyclophosphamide or azathioprine can be selected. It can be used in combination with corticosteroids.
Symptomatic treatment: Antipyretic and analgesics such as indomethacin and Advil can be used for fever and joint pain; for abdominal pain, scopolamine can be taken orally or injected intramuscularly.
