Is baby favism serious?

Many mothers will find that their babies have favism. Moreover, for babies, this disease will actually have a greater impact on their health. Therefore, mothers need to understand what kind of disease is favism in babies and how to effectively prevent it. Because many diseases have a greater impact and harm on babies, we need to have a comprehensive understanding and adopt the most effective treatment methods.

Favism is the common name for erythrocyte 6-phosphate glucose dehydrogenase deficiency, which is a hereditary defect disease. Children are usually the same as normal children, without any discomfort or symptoms, and no abnormal changes in appearance at all. However, if it happens by chance, such as eating broad beans or taking certain oxidizing drugs, such as quinolines, furans, sulfonamides, antipyretics, analgesics, water-soluble vitamins K3, K4 and their derivatives, it will cause acute hemolysis.

This type of anemia caused by hemolysis develops rapidly and progresses very quickly. Symptoms usually appear 1 to 2 days after eating broad beans and 2 to 3 days after taking medication. It is important to stop giving children beans and certain oxidizing drugs. Genetic defects cannot currently be corrected by medication, so it is better to take preventive measures.

The above is some common sense about baby favism. I hope that after understanding these contents, every mother can treat the baby's favism problem more healthily and rationally, so as to achieve the best treatment effect and reduce more disease problems as much as possible, and the adverse effects on the baby.
