In recent years, the incidence of allergic purpura has increased significantly, due to environmental pollution, too much high protein diet for children, too much consumption of small foods, etc., resulting in the decline of children’s physical fitness and immune dysfunction is the main reason. Many parents of children in the clinic have been concerned about how to prevent the recurrence of allergic purpura.
Comprehensive our department’s relevant experience, children with allergic purpura should do the following in their lives.
1. Remove the possible allergens.
However, the cause of allergy is often difficult to determine. Avoiding contact with allergens can only avoid common possible allergens. Common possible allergens can be found through laboratory tests; parents’ observation in life is also important, such as insect bites, pollen, chemicals, paints, gasoline, dust mites, etc.
2.Rational diet and improve physical condition.
To balanced diet, meat and vegetarian, vegetarian-based, less meat, eggs, milk, more rice, noodles, vegetables, fruits. The Chinese medicine believes that meat, eggs, milk, fish and shrimp, seafood and other high animal protein food can easily lead to hot physique, hot physique for the basis of purpura development.
3, avoid eating spicy food.
Forbidden to eat chili, alcohol, seafood and other stimulating foods; drinks, snacks and other convenience foods.
4, avoid keeping pets.
Allergic children should not keep pets, minimize contact with animal fur, especially children with clear allergens should pay more attention.
5, hygiene.
Pay attention to dietary hygiene, wash hands regularly, do not eat unclean fruits and vegetables and aquatic plants, in order to eliminate the opportunity of intestinal parasitic infection. In the clinic, we often meet patients with repeated new skin purpura caused by parasitic infections. Oral wormer can be given to children older than 2 years old, and two tablets of Schick’s Intestinal Wormer can be given orally at night before bedtime. The summer and autumn season is the high incidence of parasites, purpura children can be considered around October every year to give children a worming.
6, strengthen exercise, enhance physical fitness.
Strengthening exercise is a good way to prevent allergic purpura, which can improve the body’s immunity to various infections and reduce the chance of recurrence of allergic purpura. Allergic purpura does not advocate strenuous exercise, normal exercise is possible, such as walking, dancing, playing table tennis and other activities not strenuous exercise.
7, pay attention to climate change.
Timely increase and decrease clothes to prevent colds and flu, room ventilation regularly to keep the air fresh in the living room.
8, allergy drugs.
Avoid taking drugs that may cause allergies.
9.Vaccines.
Vaccination is a good way to prevent diseases, but for children with allergic purpura, vaccination is not recommended. This is because some of the allergic purpura is developed after vaccination. It can also be seen clinically that purpura recurs after vaccination. Some books suggest not to inject for half a year or one year, but we think it is better not to inject for at least 2 years. However, if your child has been injected with the vaccine and there is no adverse reaction, it is not a problem.
10. Pay attention to rest, avoid mood swings, and avoid straining.
11.Season.
There are obvious seasons for the onset and recurrence of allergic purpura, most of them are from September to December every year, the colder the weather the higher the incidence, of course some children develop or recur in spring or summer. Since there is such a pattern, parents can use a little bit of anti-allergy medicine appropriately between the high incidence times according to the specific recurrence pattern of their children.
