HSP usually resolves on its own within a month with no lasting complications. Supportive treatment with fluids, rest and pain-killers may relieve symptoms and promote recovery. Medications may also be prescribed to reduce the inflammation and reduce abdominal (stomach) and joint pain. Surgery may be needed in severe cases of HSP.
