Question
What Chinese herbs are recommended for pediatric nephritis? If routine urine tests show hematuria and red blood cells, should the medication be changed?
Answer
Chinese medicine treatment for pediatric nephritis is effective, particularly with Huang Kui granules and Huang Qi. Hematuria may not easily disappear, but the red blood cell count should be continuously monitored. As for side effects, the current Chinese medicine regimen is safe and suitable for long-term use. In daily life, avoid eating seafood, crabs, and spicy foods, and be cautious about preventing colds. Use antibiotics sparingly and discontinue medications that may harm the kidneys.
