Treatment Options
There is no single “cure” for HSP, but treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and preventing complications.
-
Pain relief: Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is safe for most people. Ibuprofen may help with joint pain, but only if the kidneys are unaffected.
-
Steroids: Doctors may prescribe corticosteroids like prednisone in moderate to severe cases, especially if there is severe abdominal pain, bleeding, or kidney involvement.
-
Specialist care: If the kidneys are significantly affected, a nephrologist may recommend additional medications such as stronger immunosuppressants.
