Question

My baby was seven months old when they developed jaundice, and the hospital examination confirmed liver injury. They were hospitalized for a month and discharged after taking ‘Compound Liquorice Glycyrrhizin Tablets’ and ‘Ursodeoxycholic Acid Tablets’ orally until March 3rd when a liver function check showed normalcy, and the medication was stopped. In the past month, there have been three episodes of repeated fever of unknown cause.

Answer

Many drugs and chemical toxins can cause liver injury, leading to drug-induced hepatitis or toxic hepatitis. The extent of liver damage depends on the dosage and duration of exposure to the drug or chemical toxin, as well as individual differences in susceptibility. Long-term use or repeated exposure to drugs and chemical toxins can lead to chronic hepatitis, even liver cirrhosis. There are many causes of pediatric liver diseases. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric liver disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression (cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression), and develop good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
