Patient's question:
I have allergic purpura, and it has been more than three and a half months. I just discharged from the hospital recently. I want to know that during the hospitalization, I developed a round face, buffalo hump, and double chin. After discharge, I took hormone medication for about a month. Initially, I took 7 pills, but now it has been reduced to 1 pill. Will this pill affect the recovery of the round face?Doctor's answer:
Allergic purpura is a manifestation of vascular inflammation caused by the body's allergic reaction to various allergens such as drugs, foods, and pollen. It is an immunological disease and is not contagious. Active anti-allergic treatment, vitamin supplementation, and improving vascular permeability are necessary for allergic purpura. It is best to avoid contact with allergens as much as possible. Allergic purpura can also cause nephritis. Chinese medicine can be taken as an auxiliary treatment.
