Question
The child has been crying and fussing recently, and has undergone five follow-ups for Phenylketonuria. Can this situation still be effectively treated?
Answer
Phenylketonuria is a genetic disorder caused by a chromosomal abnormality that cannot be cured, but it can be controlled and symptoms can be alleviated through regular medication. Parents should ensure that the child follows the doctor’s orders to take medication on time, closely monitor the child’s health status, and regularly follow up to adjust medication dosages as needed. They should not discontinue or increase medication dosages on their own. Additionally, precautions should be taken to prevent colds to reduce the risk of worsening the condition.
