Dr. Zhang Heyang
High prothrombin time in children can be managed by maintaining a light diet, avoiding staying up late and overexertion, and refraining from spicy or greasy foods. It is recommended to engage in appropriate physical exercise and consume more fresh fruits to boost the body's immunity. If the child has other underlying conditions such as liver or kidney diseases, these may contribute to elevated prothrombin levels. A comprehensive medical examination is advised for the child.
