Patient's question:
My child got a cold a few weeks ago, and after recovering, he hasn't been eating well and doesn't like dinner. The past two days, I noticed his eyes are swollen too, and he told me he just feels uncomfortable. I searched on Baidu, and it said it's possible that he might have nephritis. It's so scary!Hello, what are the symptoms of nephritis in children? Should I take my child to the hospital for a thorough examination?
Doctor's answer:
The typical symptoms of nephritis include hematuria, proteinuria, edema, and hypertension, among others. For young children, the possibility of nephritis is relatively low. Further diagnosis of the disease requires hospitalization for additional careful examinations, and effective medications should be administered based on symptoms. Before a diagnosis is made, there is no need to be overly anxious. Online information has a certain degree of bias and cannot be used alone to confirm a disease. This is not a scientific approach.
