Patient's question:
My best friend's child has already started elementary school. Recently, she noticed some abnormalities in the child. The child has difficulty looking up and also has some stiffness in the body. The doctor said it is tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency. Does tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency require dietary control?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is no need to control your diet because tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency is a genetic disease, primarily characterized by motor disorders and intellectual disability, which is not much related to diet. It is important to seek medical attention promptly, follow the doctor's diagnosis, and actively cooperate with the treatment. Rest more during the day and avoid strenuous exercise. Eat more light and nutritious foods. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up.
