What Is The Treatment For HSP Rash?

My son 7 years old has been diagnosed HSP Henoch schonlein purpura 3 months back, Dr started steroid for a month, his rash was cleared but again he was infected after a month, so we changed his Dr. his new Doctor stopped all oral medication and told us that it will have with unknown period so no need to be worry but whenever it starts again u can give him anti-allergic syrups for atleast 4 weeks, but we are observing that during his medication he has infected again n again, we have taken Urine D/R and Cretinine test and all are Ok, I want to ask u that what is the duration of this disease. Is this disease ever under control by this medication what we are giving to him, Really we are much worried about his health, and plz suggest us any precaution, side effects of this disease and the main cause of this disease. i ll be very thankful to you Best Regards

YOU CAN GIVE pain medications like paracetamol, naproxen .only ,if he had severe gut pain with bleed and proteins in urine you will be advised steroid medications.Apply,emolients/moisturiser locally.If still the rash and pain persists, NEED TO GIVE STEROIDS FOR A SHORT DURATION,pLEASE SHOW TO A PEDIATRIC RHEUMATOLOGIST ,IF YOU ARE GETTING RECURRENT SYMPTOMS.hOPE IT ANSWERS YOUR QUERY
