Patient's question:
Hello! My child is over 4 years old and has a hereditary disease called hemophilia. At night when they sleep, they experience nosebleeds, but only from one side, not the other. They had a nosebleed once last year, but this year it has happened several times. I would like to consult a doctor about this.Doctor's answer:
Because some children develop jaundice with a yellow complexion after eating broad beans, it is named "Broad Bean Jaundice." Broad Bean Jaundice is an acute hemolytic jaundice and a special disease that causes anemia. This condition is related to genetics. Children with this condition may become ill not only after eating broad beans but also after consuming broad bean products such as soy milk or soy sauce. If a nursing mother eats broad beans, the infant may also develop the condition after drinking breast milk. Individuals with a defect or those who have had this disease in the past should avoid eating broad beans and related medications. You can use some traditional Chinese medicine preparations, but they must be used under the guidance of a doctor.
