How to deal with recurrent allergic purpura?

Patient's question:

My child is nine years old and has been diagnosed with allergic purpura. Recently, it has been recurring, and the allergic purpura has been recurring.

Doctor's answer:

Nursing care for joint swelling and pain should involve observing pain and swelling in joint-type cases, maintaining the functional position of the affected limb, helping children choose a comfortable position, and providing daily care. The use of adrenal cortical hormones is effective in relieving joint pain.
Skin care involves observing the morphology, number, and location of rashes, whether they recur, and recording daily changes in rashes by drawing on a human body diagram. If the rashes are itchy, maintain skin cleanliness, prevent friction and scratching by children, and promptly treat any breaks to prevent bleeding and infection.
Children with abdominal purpura should be given liquid diets free of animal protein and fiber. In severe cases, fasting is necessary. It is essential to advise them to return for regular follow-up visits after discharge to detect kidney complications early.
