Question
The newborn has positive TSH and negative PHE, the child has been crying continuously and has no appetite recently. How should we handle this situation?
Answer
Both Phe and TSH indicators are normal, so there is no need to worry specially, but if the indicators are abnormal, it is advisable to visit the hospital as soon as possible to ensure the child’s health. Phe is a test indicator for phenylketonuria, while TSH is used to check for congenital hypothyroidism. Long-term medication may have side effects, so it is recommended to complement with food and regularly visit the hospital for check-ups.
