[mel791]

My son has been diagnos with bronco pneumonia. Given medication. on the 2nd day in hospital swellon anckles and feet appear. On the next morning swollen subside then red spots appear, then almost all joints swelled up again and he's in pain then small bruises on his feet appeared then gone. All test were done and seems all clear or nothing suspicious result. After 4 days again appeared and disappear on the next day.
We're out of medication and hospital for a week now and this early evening appeared again-red spots, little swelling and tittle pain (that later he can't stand up). Please help?

This condition is supposed to be of viral origin, and causes small bloody rashes with joint swelling and pain. Some do get stomach pain also.May require cortisone for short duration and would get allright. Do consult your doc.

Henoch- schonlein purpura(Red rash with joint swelling). A urine analysis is a must.Generally would settle without much problem.Do get confirmed.
