Patient's question:
Dear Director Wang,My child is just over twelve years old now. On the first day of the military training before school, he noticed small red spots on his calves. Since he didn’t know what was happening, he didn’t pay much attention. After about 5 or 6 days, the spots gradually disappeared. However, after two weeks of physical education classes, the red spots reappeared on his calves. He went to the Department of Hematology at Shanxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for a check-up, and the diagnosis was allergic purpura. During the follow-up visits, his urinalysis results were normal, and he would occasionally develop 2 or 3 red spots every few days.
Doctor's answer:
Allergic purpura, also known as hemorrhagic capillary toxicosis, is a relatively common microvascular. The causes include allergies caused by infections, food allergies, drug allergies, pollen, insect bites, etc., but the allergic cause is often difficult to determine. Allergic purpura can be treated with the following prescription: White Mulberry root 30g, Trichosanthes kirilowii root 16g, Isatis root 9g, Rubia root 9g, Polygonum aviculare root 6g, Dried Rehmannia glutinosa 16g, Scrophularia ningpoensis 9g, Dendrobium candidum 16g, Sophora japonica flower 16g, Moutan root bark 9g, Sanguisorba officinalis 6g, decocted with water for oral administration.
