How is pediatric drug-induced liver injury treated?

Patient's question:

Hello, doctor. My baby got a severe cold and was given antibiotics for fever, which might have been too much. Now, there is drug-induced liver injury. Currently, we are undergoing liver protection treatment. Could you please advise on how to handle this? Are there any good clinical methods? It's really frustrating. Thank you, doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is recommended to undergo blood tests, including tests for Mycoplasma antibodies, etc. If it is a bacterial infection, it is advised to use anti-infection treatment, such as cephalosporins. If it is a Mycoplasma infection, it is recommended to use azithromycin for treatment, and cough relief medication can be added. It is best to receive intravenous treatment, ensuring thorough treatment with a sufficient course duration.
