Patient's question:
A 4-year-old child has many small red spots on their body and legs. The doctor said it's allergic purpura. I want to know how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
If you want to go for root treatment, you need to do an allergen screening to find the allergen. Once the allergen is identified, avoiding contact with it naturally prevents the onset of symptoms. If contact cannot be avoided, long-term use of hormones, traditional Chinese medicine, and other treatments is generally the only option. The treatment for allergic purpura usually involves actively identifying and treating the possible cause, which is also known as etiological treatment. For simple skin-type purpura, rest is the primary approach, and excessive medication is not advisable. It is recommended that you use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
