My daughter s 8.5 yrs old. She has HSP when she was 4yrs. Now again she s got mild jejunitis in her intestines. She is complaining of stomach pain inspite of giving her paun killers, antibiotics. She s given only home cooked indian food. But still she s puking and complaining of stomach ache after a week of her medications. Is it complicated as it looks?. Plz advise

Hi, since your child has henoch scholein purpura with mild jejunitis, the initial treatment given by doctor was correct, but since pain abdomen is persisting your child may require steroids for 2 weeks to relieve the symptoms. For prescribing steroids we need exact weight of child, i suggest you to see your treating doctor to review the symptoms and starting of steroids. I hope this has helped you. Take care.
