Patient's question:
My child is just three and a half months old and is currently in the breastfeeding period. They have developed allergic purpura. Can anyone help me? It has been more than a month since it started, and the occult blood has always been 2, with no proteinuria. The petechiae keep appearing and disappearing, and I am under so much psychological stress. Originally, it started on the legs, and I dreamed that it was all over my body at night. Currently, I am taking vitamin C and calcium pills, but they are not very effective. The doctor said that if I want to use effective medication, I need to wean. What should I do? Some people say that prednisone can be used, but others say that it is a hormone drug and cannot be used during breastfeeding. Can someone help me? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Allergy purpura is a common disease with multiple causes. After developing the condition, it is essential to promptly seek medical attention for examination and treatment. It is also important to identify the allergen. During treatment, antiallergic therapies should be primarily adopted, with appropriate use of calcium, hormones, and vitamin C. Medication and treatment must be conducted under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, avoid consuming fish, shrimp, and other animal and plant proteins during treatment. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Can someone help me? What should I do?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
