Patient's question:
Tears. Coughed, just arrived in Zhuhai from Huizhou two days ago. A few minutes after getting off the car, I'll be able to assist you in any way you need: My baby has G6PD deficiency. Now, can I give him Snakebile and Fritillaria Root Loquat Syrup? There's no other medicine available...Doctor's answer:
Alright, the Chinese medicine contraindications for favism are: mint, camphor, naphthol, rhubarb, pearl powder, winter jasmine, bear bile, kui lian tea, Qili San, infant powder, Niuhuang Jiedu pills, etc.Medical advice: The ingredients of general snake bile loquat liquid typically include snake bile, fritillaria, loquat leaf extract, poria, fish gill grass, tangerine peel, platycodon, ginger, and licorice, etc. The key point is that the fever-reducing liquid may contain mint flavoring, which is not yet clear. It is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Alternatively, you can first test a very small amount on the child and carefully observe for any adverse reactions before proceeding with treatment.
Doctor's inquiry: The baby has favism, and there's no need for the mother to be anxious. This is a genetic disease, and there's nothing that can be done about it. However, when the baby takes medication, it's essential to inform the doctor first to prevent the use of unnecessary drugs. Additionally, this condition varies in severity. Mild cases generally do not require dietary restrictions (except for broad beans), while severe cases are best discussed with a doctor for advice.
