Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. Please ask what should be done if the child gets jaundiceDoctor's answer:
Children in the neonatal period may suffer brain damage due to jaundice, which is medically known as "kernicterus." It often leads to sequelae such as hearing loss, eye movement disorders, athetosis, enamel hypoplasia, and intellectual disability, making it one of the high-risk factors for the development of cerebral palsy. The earlier the treatment is initiated, the greater the potential to minimize sequelae and improve future life skills.
