Patient's question:
After the child was born, it was discovered that their lips were pale and their fingernails were pale. Three days later, jaundice began to appear. Blue light treatment and medication were not administered; instead, Mimi Ai and four mushroom soup were used, and the jaundice gradually subsided.Doctor's answer:
Hello, neonatal hemolytic disease refers to hemolysis caused by the destruction of fetal red blood cells due to an immune reaction. This occurs when there is an incompatibility in blood types between the mother and fetus, and maternal IgG antibodies against fetal red blood cells cross the placenta into the fetal circulation. Prenatal treatments may include plasma exchange for the pregnant woman, intrauterine blood transfusion, and considering early delivery. Postnatal treatments include exchange transfusion, phototherapy, correcting anemia, and symptomatic treatment. Additionally, active treatment and management of jaundice are necessary to prevent complications.
