Patient's question:
Waist and leg swelling, with a few red spots. Initially treated at the hospital, later at the children's hospital. Treatment history and effectiveness: symptoms disappeared, but the allergen could not be identified. What kind of help is needed? Can the allergen be identified? How can prevention be done in the future?Doctor's answer:
Allergic purpura is a relatively common microvascular disease. The causes include allergies caused by infection, food allergies, drug allergies, pollen, insect bites, etc., but the allergic cause is often difficult to determine. Treatment involves controlling infection, digestive vitamins, corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, anticoagulant therapy, etc. The prognosis of this disease is good, and the treatment course is generally 12 weeks. You can go to a provincial hospital to get an allergen test to identify the allergen. Pay attention to avoiding animal protein diet and being cautious about hidden foods. Start with small amounts under close observation and gradually increase the dosage.
