Patient's question:
Four-year-old girl, creatine kinase 510, pharyngeal congestion, body temperature 39 degrees, single cough. Past treatment and effectiveness: currently undergoing anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment, symptomatic supportive treatment. What kind of assistance is desired: should heart-protecting medication be added?Doctor's answer:
Significant elevation of serum creatine kinase may be related to an unreasonable dietary structure, excessive intake of high-protein foods, leading to excessive burden on the digestive system. Physical exercise may help stabilize the child's catabolic function. Advice: Moreover, this is a stress-induced increase, which may also be due to viral myocarditis. Focus on anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment, pay attention to rest, and avoid overexertion. The diet should be as light as possible, primarily based on fresh vegetables and fruits, and protein intake should be consulted with the doctor. Inquiry: Have you been eating too much protein?
