Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I feel unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. I was wondering if children with blood type B from a mother with type B blood can get hemolytic jaundice.Doctor's answer:
This situation will not cause ABO blood group hemolytic disease; it only occurs when the mother is type O and the father is type A (or B). Hemolytic jaundice is present from birth. If blood bilirubin levels are checked and jaundice is confirmed, it may be physiological jaundice, which usually disappears within 14 days. For premature infants, it may persist for 3-4 weeks.Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
