Is it accurate to check liver function when a child is sick?

Patient's question:

Is it accurate to check liver function when a child is sick? I am very worried. The child's symptoms keep recurring, and they have already been checked. I hope the doctor can help us.

Doctor's answer:

During a common cold, liver function tests should not be performed, as dietary intake can affect liver function, thereby impacting the accuracy of the test. Timely self-regulation is important.
If liver function is abnormal, liver-protecting treatments can be administered. Herbal medicine can be used for regulation. Daily diet should be regular, with adequate rest, avoiding staying up late or overexertion. Avoid spicy, greasy, and stimulating foods; consume more vegetables and fruits. Alcohol and smoking should be avoided, and regular follow-up check-ups at the hospital are necessary.
