Abstract

At the beginning of the complete opening of the epidemic, official or unofficial drug information also spread rapidly to people's lives due to the large-scale spread of COVID-19. The continuous occurrence of acute liver injury cases caused by improper and disorderly drug use is because the health information is too concise, important information is omitted, or the public is careless in searching and screening the information. After seeing the news of acute liver injury cases caused by various reasons after the release of several epidemic cases, the author decided to investigate and study the root cause. The specific research refers to the theory of previous literature, studies the characteristics of media communication information, introduces the situation of health information in mass communication, and analyzes the reasons. According to the research, there are two reasons. One is the deviation of the information disseminated by the media, and the other is the poor public health information literacy. In order to reduce the recurrence of such acute liver injury cases, it is necessary for the government to strengthen management, the media to stick to their responsibilities, and the masses to improve their health information literacy.
