What are the treatment methods of allergic purpura in traditional Chinese medicine?

I believe that in our daily lives, we don’t often hear about allergic purpura, so it may seem very unfamiliar to us. However, once you suffer from this disease, you still have to insist on the treatment method. Let us learn about the Chinese medicine treatment methods for allergic purpura.

Treatment:

1. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine: This disease belongs to the category of rashes in traditional Chinese medicine. It is caused by evil heat damaging the blood. Its symptoms are similar to those of yang rashes. The treatment principle is mainly to clear away heat and detoxify, cool blood and remove blood stasis. Commonly used modified Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction: 1 gram of rhinoceros horn, 15 grams of honeysuckle, 10 grams each of forsythia, lithospermum officinale, and moutan bark, 6 grams of salvia miltiorrhiza, 15 grams each of rehmannia and white imperata root, and 30 grams of adzuki bean.

If the purpura is heavy and dark in color, it is a manifestation of excessive toxic heat. Take 0.5-0.75 grams of Zixuedan with water, 1-2 times a day. If the abdominal pain is severe, add 15 grams of Corydalis and 6 grams of Myrrh. For bloody stool, add 10 grams each of Sanguisorba officinalis charcoal and Prunus mume charcoal, or 1.5 grams of Panax notoginseng powder and take it with water.

If the child has a large amount of bleeding and the bleeding persists, and he has a pale face, palpitations, shortness of breath and other symptoms, it is a case of deficiency of both Qi and blood, and the spleen cannot retain blood. The treatment should focus on nourishing Yin and strengthening the spleen, and replenishing Qi and retaining blood. The commonly used Guipi Decoction is modified with 15 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 10 grams each of Atractylodes macrocephala, longan meat, and Angelica sinensis, 15 grams of Rehmannia glutinosa, 10 grams each of donkey-hide gelatin and Sanguisorba officinalis charcoal, and 5 dates. For qi deficiency, add 15 grams of astragalus, for blood deficiency, add 10 grams each of white peony root and polygonatum, or use more cooked rehmannia.

2. Treatment with adrenal cortical hormones: Adrenal cortical hormones are effective for some children and can improve symptoms. They are effective for those with abdominal pain accompanied by bloody stools and joint symptoms, but they cannot prevent recurrence. They are often ineffective for nephritis and can be unnecessary for those with simple skin purpura. Prednisone 1-2 mg/kg/day is usually taken orally in divided doses. After the symptoms are relieved, the dosage is gradually reduced until the drug is stopped. The course of treatment is generally 1-2 weeks. Patients with severe abdominal pain, bloody stools or cerebral hemorrhage can be treated with intravenous drip of 150-300 mg/day (5-10 mg/kg/day) of hydrocortisone or 15-30 mg (1-2.5 mg/kg/day) of dexamethasone. When the kidneys are affected and show symptoms of nephrotic syndrome, treat them according to nephrotic syndrome.
