How to deal with a 2-year-old child with favism

Patient's question:

The baby is 2 years old and has G6PD deficiency. They have had bronchitis, a cold, fever, and cough for a week without improvement. Due to the G6PD deficiency, many medications cannot be used. I don't know how to make it better.

Doctor's answer:

You can give the baby Ganmao Granules to stabilize the symptoms of runny nose. You can give the child herbal medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying to stabilize the cough symptoms. These medications are not harmful to children with favism. Additionally, drink more water to enhance the excretion of toxins. Children with favism have many medications they cannot take when they catch a cold, so it is advisable to use physical cooling methods for fever. Pay attention to preventing cold and maintaining a light diet.
