Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby has only been born for a little over two weeks! The doctor said they have G6PD deficiency (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency). They were fine at the hospital, but when they came home, they developed jaundice. In the following days, the white part of their eyes became increasingly 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 recurrent acute intravascular hemolysis after consuming fresh fava beans in the context of hereditary glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency. In this case, it is recommended that you visit the hospital for a follow-up examination. If there is a significant decrease in blood bilirubin, treatments such as blue light therapy may be necessary. Simply drinking mulberry water is not effective; you can try Yinzhihuang Granules instead.
