Question
What should be done when a 11-year-old child has liver enlargement?
Answer
For an 11-year-old boy who experienced abdominal pain and elevated blood counts on May 1, 2009, several possibilities need to be considered: 1. Viral hepatitis; 2. Bacterial hepatitis; 3. Autoimmune diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo liver function tests and viral antibody tests to determine the specific condition. Additionally, since the causes of liver diseases can be diverse, once a child is diagnosed with liver disease, parents should cooperate with doctors for timely treatment, and adopt measures such as gastrointestinal decompression, while cultivating good hygiene habits. Parents should also avoid allowing their children to develop bad eating habits and ensure a reasonable dietary structure.
