Patient's question:
A 9-year-old child developed purpura after undergoing a cardiac for a and taking aspirin for 1 month. I would like to know:1. Is the purpura caused by long-term use of aspirin?
2. How should this condition be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! It's a pleasure to help you with your question: Based on the described situation, this may be related to bleeding caused by improper use of aspirin. It's necessary to check the coagulation function and stop taking the medication promptly. Aspirin enteric-coated tablets are a type of platelet inhibitor and may cause purpura-like changes leading to bleeding. You can stop the medication and wait for the condition to improve. After a heart stent surgery, it is generally not necessary to take antiplatelet drugs for a long period.
