Question

Can children with phenylketonuria be relieved?

Answer

Phenylketonuria is a congenital disease that cannot be cured. However, with proper treatment and dietary control, the impact of the disease can be minimized, allowing patients to live a life similar to that of healthy individuals. The main methods of treatment include controlling the content of phenylalanine in food, using special formula milk during infancy, and avoiding the consumption of foods high in phenylalanine as they grow older. Recommendations include eating fewer high-protein foods, consuming more vegetables and fruits, and undergoing regular health checks and follow-ups.
