Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby has only been born for more than half a month! The doctor said they have G6PD deficiency. They were fine at the hospital, but when they came home, they noticed jaundice. In the following days, the white part of their eyes became more and more yellow! Can I give my child yellow gentian water to drink?Doctor's answer:
According to your purchase information, Fabism is a disease caused by a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), which manifests as sudden acute intravascular hemolysis after consuming fresh fava beans in the presence of a hereditary G-6-PD deficiency. In this case, it is recommended that you visit the hospital for a follow-up examination. If your blood bilirubin level drops significantly, treatment such as blue light therapy will be necessary. Simply drinking mulberry water is not effective; you can try Yinzhihuang Granules instead.
