What are the symptoms of pediatric Henoch-Schönlein purpura?

Patient's question:

Female, 9 years old, suffering from Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura

Doctor's answer:

1. Rest well. Remove allergenic factors as much as possible, maintain a light diet, prevent upper respiratory tract infections, and avoid using suspected allergenic drugs.
2. For simple purpura, the following medications can be used: antihistamines, drugs that reduce capillary permeability, such as vitamin C, rutin, and calcium preparations.
3. Corticosteroid hormones can be used for severe cases of purpura with systemic symptoms, such as renal, joint, or gastrointestinal types.
4. For chronic cases, tripterygium glycosides can be taken orally. For refractory renal purpura, immunosuppressants may be added as appropriate.
