Patient's question:
My baby has been diagnosed with G6PD deficiency, and I've heard that many medications are not suitable for them. My baby has a bad cold and fever today, which keeps recurring severely, and I'm very worried. The prescription from the hospital only mentions that Western medications should not be taken, but I don't know which traditional Chinese medicines are forbidden, including which foods are restricted in the diet. What are the specific names of these medications and foods?Doctor's answer:
