Question
The baby had an elevated myocardial enzyme index due to fever, and after receiving treatment with penicillin and fructose, an infection occurred. Cephalosporin antibiotics and fructose were then used, followed by a recurrence of fever and the administration of anti-inflammatory hormone medicine to reduce fever. The examination results showed liver function impairment. After being transferred to another hospital for treatment, the myocardial enzyme index returned to normal, and liver function improved. The doctor recommended taking Vitamin B4 and squalene after discharge, and scheduled a blood routine check after half a month and a liver function check after one month. The baby has poor gastrointestinal digestion and is prone to diarrhea after eating. What should a baby with liver damage eat? Be specific.
Answer
Babies with liver damage should follow a diet high in protein, vitamins, low in sugar, and low in fat. It is advisable to avoid or reduce the intake of animal fats and sweets (including sugary drinks). It is recommended to consume more vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in fiber, as well as lean meats, river fish, and soy products that are high in protein. In addition, snacks and late-night snacks should be avoided. Furthermore, the diet should be balanced, including proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
