Question
How to treat neonatal cytomegalovirus hepatitis?
Answer
The key to treating neonatal cytomegalovirus hepatitis lies in early detection and treatment. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be used, including the use of herbal medicine for clearing heat, detoxifying, soothing the liver, benefiting the gallbladder, and promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis. This is combined with the use of phosphonoacetic acid from Western medicine for treatment. In addition, the child should consume a diet rich in protein and vitamins, such as milk, soy products, fresh vegetables, and fruits. If congenital bile duct obstruction is confirmed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible to avoid liver cirrhosis and the loss of surgical opportunity.
