Question
Can poor liver function cause a child to have a fever?
Answer
Severe liver dysfunction can lead to fever. According to the theory of the five elements, wood controls earth, and if liver function remains abnormal for a long time without improvement, the spleen function will become hyperactive, further aggravating the condition and lowering immunity. It is advisable to have a comprehensive liver function check and actively cooperate with symptomatic treatment after confirming the specific cause. There are many causes of pediatric liver disease. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric liver disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, reduce gastrointestinal pressure, and develop good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
