Patients with allergic purpura can eat chicken. In the diet of patients with allergic purpura, the general principle is to try to reduce the consumption of spicy foods and some potential irritants such as celery, coriander, and shiitake mushrooms, which should be eaten sparingly. Chicken is not considered an irritant and can be consumed. In addition to strict dietary precautions to avoid allergens, patients with allergic purpura should also avoid vigorous exercise and strictly avoid getting cold and infections, as both vigorous exercise and infections can potentially trigger acute episodes of allergic purpura.

Can people with allergic purpura take baths?

Patients with allergic purpura can take baths, but the water temperature should not be too hot. This is because excessive heat or vigorous exercise can potentially trigger a recurrence of allergic purpura. Additionally, patients should avoid getting cold to reduce the risk of infection, as infections can also provoke episodes of allergic purpura. During an episode of allergic purpura, it is necessary to take some anti-allergy medications and medications that reduce rashes, such as desloratadine dispersible tablets and compound glycyrrhizin tablets. If there is significant involvement of vital organs, such as the kidneys or gastrointestinal tract, some patients may also need to use corticosteroids. (Medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.)

Does allergic purpura cause vomiting?

Patients with allergic purpura may experience symptoms of vomiting. Patients with the gastrointestinal type of allergic purpura may exhibit symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. The gastrointestinal type is considered a severe form of allergic purpura because it affects critical internal organs and the intestines. In treatment, besides using anti-allergic methods to reduce rashes, it is also necessary to use corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and control gastrointestinal symptoms. Additionally, immunosuppressants such as mycophenolate mofetil can be used to control the gastrointestinal response. Meanwhile, patients should adhere to a strict fasting regimen until symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea improve. (Medication should be administered under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

What should I do if I have allergic purpura and my legs hurt?

Patients with allergic purpura who experience leg pain indicate the development of the arthritic type of allergic purpura. Firstly, strict bed rest should be enforced in daily life to reduce the burden on the joints. Secondly, active treatment of the primary cause of allergic purpura should be pursued, which can include taking medications like desloratadine dispersible tablets to reduce the rash. Subsequently, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, can be taken to alleviate leg pain. If the symptoms do not significantly improve with these measures, the use of a small dose of corticosteroids may be considered if necessary. (Medication should be administered under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

Is allergic purpura prone to recurrence?

First and foremost, allergic purpura refers to a hemorrhagic disease that affects the capillaries in the skin or other organs; it is categorized as a rheumatic immune disease. It primarily occurs in adolescents and children aged between five to fourteen years, and cannot be cured. The disease is prone to recurring, which is its main clinical characteristic. The primary causes are infections, drugs, or food allergies, with infections being the most significant factor. Therefore, upon the appearance of skin purpura or bleeding spots, joint swelling, or signs such as hematuria and proteinuria, timely and comprehensive examinations should be conducted for diagnosis. Once the kidneys are involved, it is essential to rest in bed until the proteinuria alleviates. Moreover, it is crucial to conduct a 24-hour urinary protein quantification to assess the extent of kidney damage. If there is a significant amount of proteinuria, it is advisable to promptly perform a renal biopsy to clarify the type of pathology.

Does allergic purpura spread to others?

Firstly, allergic purpura is neither a genetic nor a contagious disease, so there is no need to worry about it being inherited or transmitted to others. It is an allergic reaction caused by drugs, food, or infections, typically manifested by bleeding and bruising on the skin and mucous membranes of the limbs, joint pain, and hematuria. Diagnosis requires the combination of clinical manifestations and related tests such as urinalysis. If it is merely a case of the skin type, it only necessitates bed rest and observation of the number and extent of bleeding points on the skin and mucous membranes without special treatment. If there are symptoms like black stools or proteinuria, bed rest is imperative along with the use of anti-allergy medications or corticosteroids to enhance treatment, continuing until the proteinuria resolves.
