Patient's question:
The baby is now just two years old. Last week, she suddenly had a high fever, started crying, and had a rash resembling chickenpox. We thought she had chickenpox and quickly went to the pediatric hospital's emergency department. The doctor diagnosed it as tuberculous pericarditis in children. What kind of medicine should be taken for tuberculous pericarditis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child experiences tuberculosis pericarditis again, the treatment is particularly difficult. First, the fusion is tight and hard to control. The recurrence of tuberculosis pericarditis in children may be due to their relatively low resistance. Treating tuberculosis pericarditis requires taking multiple different oral medications. For children, administering medication is a major issue. Anti-tuberculosis drugs have severe adverse effects on liver and kidney function, so it is essential to conduct regular liver and kidney function tests during the treatment process.
