Patient's question:
A three-year-old child discovered swollen eyes and then swollen feet. After a urine test, the doctor diagnosed them with nephrotic syndrome and admitted them to the hospital for treatment. They stayed in the hospital for 10 days, and now the protein in their urine has turned negative. They were discharged yesterday and are still taking medication at home. The doctor said to come back for a check-up every week. The doctor said it is considered primary.Doctor's answer:
In nephrotic syndrome, prednisone (also known as) is commonly used. Jin Shui Bao can also be effective, helping to improve physical condition and immune status. Tripterygium glycosides are different from hormones in that they don't require a complicated tapering process; once effective, you can maintain the treatment for a period and then gradually stop. If proteinuria is significant, you can drink a decoction of Astragalus combined with Codonopsis. If edema is prominent, you can use Astragalus combined with White Mulberry root to make a decoction.With proper treatment, if the symptoms are mild, you can participate in the college entrance examination. Currently, universities are relatively lenient regarding physical examinations, as long as you don't have an infectious disease, you can continue studying in your chosen major.
