Patient's question:
How to use medication for children with Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura. My child has been scratching his knee area for the past two days. I noticed that his knees seem to have two lumps-like things. At first, I applied some anti-inflammatory medication to it. But when I checked again today, it looked very serious, and the doctor at the hospital said it was Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura. How should we use medication?Doctor's answer:
If a child experiences allergic purpura again, treatment can be quite challenging because many medications cannot be used on the child. It is advisable to first consider local treatments, such as applying various anti-allergic creams locally, which can effectively help in treating allergic purpura. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child consumes a diet rich in light foods, as otherwise, the condition may likely worsen repeatedly.
