Patient's question:
Children with G6PD deficiency should see a pediatrician or a hematologist? Do they need to be treated in the hospital? How long does it take to recover? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Sickle cell disease should be a clinical condition related to a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, prone to hemolysis, especially after consuming foods like fava beans. Clinical conditions still require consultation with a pediatric department in the hospital. Frequent colds in children may indicate poor immune status. Clinical conditions can be improved by enhancing nutrition and avoiding exposure to cold or chilling. Patients with sickle cell disease should avoid contact with fava beans or foods containing fava beans. It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment for this condition.
