Patient's question:
In early March, the patient suddenly showed signs of significant weight loss, dark complexion, and lack of energy. Initially, traditional Chinese medicine diagnosed dampness in the kidneys (the patient had suffered from this condition a decade ago). Their appetite and deep sleep were normal. Now, they experience some indigestion and insomnia, with a feeling of internal heat, dizziness, and yellow urine. On May 4th, a blood test revealed hepatitis, though the specific type was not identified. The hospital prescribed some medications, but they had no effect. The patient's mental and physical condition remains inconsistent, with frequent fluctuations.Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of hepatitis include decreased appetite, fatigue, and high fever, in addition to digestive symptoms. Currently, there are no specific drugs for hepatitis, and treatment relies on daily care. Avoid spicy foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. Maintain a light diet, and if necessary, you can use traditional Chinese medicine for regulation. For patients, if the hepatitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are required. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
