Patient's question:
Male, 24 years old. After getting sick, taking medicine had little effect, still not feeling well. Please ask: What should be paid attention to in diet for allergic purpura?Doctor's answer:
Allergic purpura requires attention in terms of diet. Although its cause is not directly related to food allergies, there is still a significant correlation in clinical diagnosis. It does not directly cause this disease, but it is related. Therefore, during the acute phase, we recommend a vegetarian diet, meaning animal protein sources such as eggs and milk should be temporarily avoided, along with seafood products. Additionally, certain sea products like nori and laver should also be avoided. Furthermore, we should minimize the consumption of some seasonings such as MSG, thirteen-spice, chili, and pepper, but condiments like soy sauce and vinegar can still be used. For children who are flexibly using hormone treatment for purpura, they should also take calcium and vitamin supplements.
