Child with allergic purpura just discharged, seeking further treatment

Patient's question:

On the evening of June 16, 2014, I experienced abdominal pain. The next day, I visited a doctor and took medication for three days, but it didn't improve. I then saw another doctor, but the condition still didn't get better. It wasn't until June 24 that I went to the hospital for a check-up, where the doctor diagnosed me with pediatric allergic purpura. I was admitted for treatment, and after receiving intravenous fluids for the second day, my condition returned to normal. My urine was normal, but my stool had occult blood+++ (3+). After five days of hospitalization, the stool test showed no occult blood, and everything was normal. During this time, I also had an ultrasound, and all other tests were normal. I was discharged on July 3. The next day, I started crying and noticed small red spots on my buttocks, as well as small red spots on my back that looked like heat rash and were very itchy.

Doctor's answer:

The rash on the upper body is hard to determine what it is. Purpura is not always severe, so there's no need to be overly anxious. Continue treatment as usual. But be sure to check a urine test every week.
