Patient's question:
Please ask: If jaundice is caused by other reasons rather than Kernicterus, will it affect the child's intelligence?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice appears 3 days after birth and usually disappears within 2 weeks, which is physiological jaundice. However, if the jaundice does not subside after 2 weeks, it becomes pathological jaundice. Prolonged inability to return to the normal range can have a certain impact on intelligence, which is a sequelae of pathological jaundice.
