Question
How should a child with hepatitis C be treated?
Answer
Since the prognosis for children with hepatitis C is generally better, parents should not worry too much. However, if the child exhibits symptoms such as jaundice, fatigue, and loss of appetite, timely diagnosis and treatment should be sought. When the child has diseases like fever, colds, or diarrhea, it is best to avoid using medications that may harm the liver. In addition, there are many factors that can lead to childhood liver disease. If a child is diagnosed with liver disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention to not allowing their children to develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
