My daughter is 5 and has only had HSP for a week or so. She first got it on a weekend then had one day off school. But her symptoms flare up regularly. Wondering if she needs complete bed rest? Ie are we causing more damage by sending her off to school each day?

    Go according to the doctors directive. If she has no pains then it should be OK. Also make sure to check her urine for kidney involvement.
