HSP in 16 month old?

by banksy on February 26, 2010

Is there anything you can do to cope with henoch schonlein purpura? My son was diagnosed today with it. We spent 6 hours in the ER iwth them trying to figure it out.

He has purple spots an dred spots all over his legs, butt, thighs, elbows, and tiny spots on his back an dface.
They recommended only bed rest and lots of fluids. Or should I get a second opinion. They took a UA and Blood work, I didn’t get the results though. He has a follow up tommorow afternoon. Hes fussy, won’t really eat still or drink very much. Hes still not having wet diapers. He had a little to drink about 4 oz when he got home .. and his diaper is bone dry ( put it on him around 6 pm .. ) he had loose stooles light yellow when we got home (ts better thanhis watery diarheaa he has been having) …

should I be worried or can I relax?
