Allergic purpura presents symptoms such as skin purpura, joint pain, abdominal pain, and kidney damage. Methods for treating allergic purpura:

1. General treatment: Avoid known allergens or triggering factors, maintain adequate rest and nutrition, and enhance immune function.

2. Medication: Antiallergic drugs such as chlorpheniramine and diphenhydramine to alleviate allergic reactions; intravenous vitamin C to improve capillary resistance; hemostatic agents such as carbazochrome (Anluoxue) and etamsylate (Dicynone) to control subcutaneous bleeding.

3. Desensitization therapy: Identify and avoid allergens; desensitization therapy may be performed when necessary to prevent disease recurrence.

4. Pulse therapy: In cases of severe illness, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) pulse therapy may be administered.

It is recommended to visit a regular hospital and receive treatment under the guidance of qualified physicians.
