Patient's question:
Two-month-old baby was hospitalized due to lung infection, and a thorough examination revealed cytomegalovirus infection and liver function damage. The hospital stay lasted eight days, and upon discharge, ALT and AST levels were still slightly elevated. After taking medication for a week, a follow-up liver function test showed normal ALT levels but elevated AST levels (over 40). The follow-up cytomegalovirus test results were IgG positive and IgM negative! Before the follow-up cytomegalovirus test, the baby was breastfed for two days. The breast milk was tested and found to contain cytomegalovirus. The doctor mistakenly read the test results as negative and said it was safe to breastfeed. Later, it was discovered that the results were actually positive, and breastfeeding was advised to be paused! So, for the first two days after discharge, the baby was breastfed, and for the next five days, formula was given. I later had the baby's blood tested for cytomegalovirus, and the DNA test was negative, IgM was negative, and liver function, kidney function, and cardiac function were all normal. The doctor said it was okay to breastfeed! However, I still feel a bit concerned. Now the baby is twoDoctor's answer:
This requires reviewing the clinical diagnosis doctor. Simply describing the situation cannot confirm what is going on. Based on the child's condition, it is necessary to combine with the clinical diagnosis doctor for further careful examination to clarify the diagnosis and adopt treatment based on specific circumstances to restore health. It is recommended to drink more water and also consider blood tests and other careful examinations. Treatment will be determined based on the examination results. Additionally, inhalation therapy can be implemented. Monitor the temperature.
