What should I do if a newborn's eyes are rolling up and staring?

Patient's question:

The child next door was just born over a month ago, and his parents noticed that his eyes sometimes flip up and he has a staring gaze, which is quite concerning. Recently, I've seen that his parents have lost quite a bit of weight.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: The upward rolling and staring of a newborn's eyes is a relatively serious symptom of a disease and should be sent to the pediatric department of the hospital for emergency treatment. If the delay is too long, the brain will be oxygen-deprived, leading to damage to brain cells.
