Patient's question:
Tears. Coughed, just arrived in Zhuhai from Huizhou two days ago. A few minutes after getting off the car, I'll be able to assist you in any way you need: My baby has G6PD deficiency. Now, can I give him Snake Liver and Fritillaria Root Loquat Syrup? There's no other medicine available...Doctor's answer:
Okay, the Chinese herb contraindications for G6PD deficiency () are: mint, camphor, naphthol, rhubarb, pearl powder, winter jasmine flower, bear bile, kui lian tea, seven-star powder, infant essence, pearl powder detoxification pills, etc.Medical advice: Generally, snake bile loquat liquid ingredients include: snake bile, fritillaria, loquat leaf extract, poria, fish, tangerine peel, platycodon, ginger, and licorice, etc.; the key is that the fever-reducing liquid may or may not contain mint flavoring, which is not yet clear. It is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Alternatively, start with a very small amount to test the child, observe carefully for any adverse reactions before proceeding with medication.
Doctor's inquiry: The baby has G6PD deficiency, so there's no need for the mother to be anxious. This is a hereditary disease, and there's no way around it. However, when the baby takes medication, it's essential to inform the doctor first to avoid using unnecessary drugs. Additionally, this condition varies in severity. Mild cases generally don't require dietary restrictions (except for broad beans), while severe cases are best discussed with a doctor for advice.
