Patient's question:
My cousin has been feeling unwell recently. His nose has been peeling for no reason, his gums have been bleeding, he's been vomiting blood, having bloody stools, and bloody urine. He quickly went to the hospital for a check-up. After a thorough examination, my cousin's condition was diagnosed. He has primary thrombocytopenic purpura. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for primary thrombocytopenic purpura is rest, as there is no specific treatment method. As long as the self-healing system is normal, platelets can be regenerated. The main approach is to use many heat-clearing and blood-cooling traditional Chinese medicines to treat the symptoms of broken skin. The treatment period is relatively long, primarily based on drugs that help lower platelet counts. With standardized treatment, the prognosis for some patients with this disease can be relatively good.
