Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain

Hello! My doughter has been diagnosed with HSP last Monday. During the week she has experienced purpura spots and ematomas for the first days (now disappearing), then intermittent swallowing of joints on a daily basis, ankles first, then wrists, then feet, then knees, then ankles again. The urine analisis which we do every morning are fine, but today she complained about abdominal pain in the right side identifiable just under the liver region (which we have been told may be dangerous hence the urine analisis). She has good appetite and no signs of vomiting or stomac pain. Should we take her again to hospital and see a paediatrician or should we just wait?
Regards.

HSP or Henoch–Schönlein purpura is characterised by palpable purpura (small hemorrhages), often with joint and abdominal pain and also with kidney involvement, for which there may be a loss of small amounts of blood and protein in the urine which usually goes unnoticed. So, the pain that you are talking about is just a part of the spectrum and pain killers may be provide relief in such pains. I would not be concerned if the abdominal pain is not too severe or if the kidney symptoms are not present but it would be best if you keep your treating physician informed. Most probably she would smoothly recover within a week or so from the onset.
