Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite. At night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. Is it hepatitis if the soles of my child's feet are yellow?Doctor's answer:
When the child's skin on the soles appears yellow again, it could be a recurrence of jaundice. However, this symptom alone cannot confirm the recurrence of jaundice. It is necessary to conduct a careful observation of the conjunctiva. If the conjunctiva is also yellow, it may indicate a recurrence of jaundice, and it is important to promptly perform liver function tests on the child. Through these tests, the abnormal levels of transaminases and bilirubin can be assessed. If abnormal levels of bilirubin and transaminases are detected, it may suggest a recurrence of hepatitis or other liver diseases.
