Question
How to resolve a child’s nephrotic syndrome that has been ongoing for over half a year?
Answer
Pediatric nephrotic syndrome is a serious condition, and it is recommended to adopt a combined treatment approach of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Western medicine can use hormones, tripterygium glycol capsules, and other medications under the guidance of a specialist doctor. Traditional Chinese medicine can adopt the treatment principles of invigorating the spleen and kidney, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and draining dampness to reduce swelling, using herbs like Astragalus, Cinnamomum cassia bark, Salvia miltiorrhiza, peach kernel, and Poria cocos for treatment. Parents should take their children to the doctor promptly and avoid self-medication, while also keeping a close eye on their child’s condition changes.
