Question
Is the result of a liver function test accurate during a child’s illness? This question arises from concerns about repeated symptoms in a child’s health condition and seeking professional medical advice.
Answer
Generally, it is not recommended to conduct a liver function test during a cold, as dietary intake may affect the accuracy of the test results. If the liver function test shows abnormalities, consider undergoing liver protection treatment and may use traditional Chinese medicine for opsonize. Maintain regular daily life and diet, avoid staying up late and overexertion, and at the same time, avoid consuming spicy, greasy foods. Eat more vegetables and fruits. In addition, alcohol consumption and smoking should be prohibited, and regular follow-up visits to the hospital should be scheduled.
