Recently, a 6-month-old baby boy in Changsha, Hunan Province, was sent to Hunan Provincial Children's Hospital for treatment for more than 20 days because of intermittent convulsions, and during the examination, the doctor found that the blood lead results in the child's body reached 429 micrograms / liter, which has caused severe lead poisoning, and it is not excluded that the convulsions caused by lead poisoning are not ruled out.
Parents introduced that a month ago, the child suddenly began to have repeated high fever, convulsions and other situations, parents found that the situation was not right, only to send to the provincial children's hospital for diagnosis and treatment, did not expect to be diagnosed with severe lead poisoning.
Chen Bo, chief physician of the Department of Neurology of Hunan Children's Hospital: After doing a lot of examinations, we did not find any special abnormalities, so we repeatedly asked parents whether they had a history of contact with special drugs.
The doctor inquired and learned that the child had eczema on his body before, because he listened to the neighbor's home remedies, and applying "Huangdan powder" can treat eczema. So parents apply "huangdan powder" to their children every day, but unexpectedly, after 4 months, the child has a convulsive phenomenon.
According to the doctor, Huangdan powder, also known as lead dan, can detoxify and grow muscle, but it needs to be used strictly and appropriately under the advice of a professional doctor. Long-term use of the human body is easy to cause lead poisoning, infants and young children should be cautious or prohibited.
Doctors say that because infants and young children's skin is relatively thin and tender, it is faster to absorb through the skin. Lead poisoning can cause damage to multiple organs, most notably the chemical system, the blood system, and the nervous system.
At present, the child has undergone many blood lead removal treatments, and his condition is gradually improving. Doctors remind that parents must not easily use the child without clarifying the drug composition, if the child is unwell, the child should be sent to a regular hospital in time, and a specialist doctor should be found to treat to avoid aggravation.
