Patient's question:
Doctor, my younger brother is two years old this year. A while ago, he was carefully examined and found to have childhood diabetes insipidus. He has been taking medicine for treatment ever since. In just a month, he has lost a lot of weight. We are very worried, and the medicine hasn't worked either. Doctor, we don't want to give him those medicines anymore. Is there any other medicine that can be used to treat childhood diabetes insipidus?Doctor's answer:
Hello! If you don't want to give the child medicine for treatment, you can use subcutaneous injection of liquid hormone therapy. Alternatively, you can wait until the baby grows a bit older and adopt traditional Chinese medicine conservative treatment, which believes it is highly related to insufficient kidney qi and kidney deficiency. Acupuncture treatment in traditional Chinese medicine can be used in conjunction with taking decoctions to enhance the effect. Combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment can also yield better results.
