The appearance of red spots during medication for allergic purpura may be related to drug reactions, incomplete control of the condition, or infection. Treatment requires adjusting medication, strengthening nursing care, or controlling infection based on the specific cause.
1. Drug reaction: Some patients may experience allergic reactions to medications used to treat allergic purpura, resulting in red spots on the skin. In this case, it is necessary to consult a doctor to adjust the medication, such as switching to antihistamines like loratadine, cetirizine, or desloratadine, or adjusting the dosage of glucocorticoids.
2. Condition not fully controlled: Treatment of allergic purpura requires a certain amount of time. If the condition is not fully controlled, red spots may continue to appear. It is necessary to adhere to medication regimens, such as oral prednisone, methylprednisolone, or dexamethasone, while also using adjuvant therapies such as vitamin C and rutin, and regular follow-up examinations.
3. Infection factors: Infection may trigger or aggravate allergic purpura, leading to recurrent red spots. It is necessary to actively control the infection, such as by using antibiotics like amoxicillin, cefixime, or azithromycin. At the same time, strengthen skin care, avoid scratching, and keep the skin clean and dry.
If red spots appear during medication for allergic purpura, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause, adjust the treatment plan, adhere to medication, strengthen nursing care, and avoid triggering factors such as infection in order to effectively control the condition and reduce the recurrence of red spots.
