Patient's question:
My baby was diagnosed with iron deficiency at 5 months old. The doctor prescribed a blood-boosting oral liquid, but the baby doesn't like to drink it. So, the family bought chicken and duck liver and gave it to the baby once a day. Every time the baby ate liver, they also added vegetables. However, I heard that eating too much natural liver is not good and can be toxic, so I bought liver powder for the baby, which is ground liver powder. The baby takes one packet of liver powder every day. But I noticed that the baby has had very dry stools and has been having three bowel movements a day for the past two days. The baby eats vegetables and fruits every day, and the urine is not yellow and is quite frequent, but the stools are still dry. I don't know what the factor or cause could be? Is it because the baby is eating too much liver powder? Or is it because the baby isn't eating enough vegetables and fruits? Or is it...Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, there is generally no significant connection. It is likely caused by dietary factors or the underlying cause. It is recommended to drink more water and eat more vegetables. There are many factors that can lead to pediatric liver disease. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric liver disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
