Diagnosed With Erythema Nodosum, Spots On Body, Had Nose Bleed, No Fever Or Constipation. On Prednisone. Sufficient?
Hello,
My son who just turned 6 has what I believe to be petechiae on his legs. The first time he got it was 9/12. I took him to our local PA the next day as the spots appeared worse and he was diagnosed with Erythema Nodosum. When I looked this up it looked NOTHING like what was on his legs. The PA prescribed 15mg of prednisnode twice daily for 5 days. The spots disappeared. My son had a nosebleed on 9/21 and the petechiae reappeared on 9/23. I took him to a pediatrician who agreed that is was petechiae and ordered blood tests STAT.
His CBC came back normal, has norma kidney function, no fever, no itching, no constipation, and no other symptoms of illness. He is not on any medication, has no known allergies, and no family history of blood disorders, vascular disease or cancer yet the petechiae continues to worsen. I am very concerned . Any insight would be helpful.

this in volves three systems skin sinus and abdomen
and according to my experience t is caused by milk
as milk is only necessary for 2 years and after that no milk
upto 2 years only breast milk is necessary
when you add milk of animal the animal proteins are not competible with human proteins and cause problems
stop milk and diary completely and few wk after withdrawl he will be okay
treat with suportive therapy according to symptomps
get confirmed bu getting blood serum tests for specific antibodies for milk
can also see for other major foods
