Pseudo-jaundice can cause our skin to look yellower than usual. This is because after we eat a lot of foods rich in carotene, the concentration of carotene in the blood will suddenly increase, and the skin will look yellower than usual. Pseudo-jaundice does not require too much anxiety, because compared with pathological jaundice, the harm of pseudo-jaundice is very small. Generally speaking, although both pseudojaundice and pathological jaundice can cause the patient's skin to look yellow, pseudojaundice does not affect the patient's liver or other organ functions. The patient's sclera will not change in any way during pseudojaundice, and pseudojaundice can be completely cured by the patient. Of course, for some people who have high standards for their appearance, yellow skin is always not good. At this time, some measures can be taken to help improve the yellow skin in pseudojaundice. First of all, if the patient has consumed foods with high carotene content in the recent period, he or she needs to stop consuming these foods immediately. Common foods with high carotene content include carrots, pumpkins, citrus fruits, papayas, etc. As long as you stop eating these foods immediately, the carotene content in the patient's serum will gradually decrease. Secondly, drink plenty of water to help remove a large amount of carotene from the body. Because drinking a lot of water will promote the patient's urination frequency, and the rich carotene may be excreted from the body with the patient's urine. It should be noted that patients must not drink excessive water in order to quickly excrete carotene. Because drinking a lot of water will cause some adverse effects on the patient's body, such as increasing the burden on the patient's kidneys, etc., which is not worth the loss. In addition, vitamin B12 can be injected to help jaundice go away. Of course, this method is only for patients with particularly severe pseudo-jaundice. And there are restrictions on the frequency and amount of vitamin B12 injections. If the patient's pseudo-jaundice is already very serious, a professional doctor needs to decide whether vitamin B12 injections are needed. The only effect of pseudojaundice on our body is that the skin will be yellower, and pseudojaundice will gradually disappear with the change of our eating habits. Therefore, after discovering that you have pseudojaundice, you only need to change your eating habits appropriately. Of course, pseudojaundice and pathological jaundice have some similarities in symptoms, and there are very strict distinction standards in medicine. Patients can go to the hospital for a doctor to make a judgment. |
