Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My nephew was delivered via cesarean section on December 27, 2013, weighing 5.9 jin. Three days after birth, the doctor said the child had jaundice, but as it wasn't severe, we didn't follow the doctor's advice to undergo phototherapy. On January 2, 2014, we were discharged, and at that time, the bilirubin level was over 260. In the afternoon of the 5th, we felt something was wrong with the baby—it wouldn’t cry, sleep, or eat, and occasionally screamed. We went to the county hospital for treatment, where the jaundice level was measured at 510. The doctors there refused to admit the baby and suggested transferring him to the provincial children's hospital. We immediately took him to your hospital, where the doctors performed a blood exchange treatment. The next day, the bilirubin level dropped to over 200. The attending doctor told us that the baby can no longer hear and that an MRI of his brain showed signs of brain disease. Hearing this, everyone was devastated. Currently, the baby is still hospitalized in Room 36 of the second newborn ward at your hospital. The attending doctor said that he is undergoing rehabilitation treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy. At the very least, the course of treatment will last for about ten days.Doctor's answer:
Thank you. I understand how you feel. However, the child is still a newborn and is currently hospitalized for treatment and observation. It is recommended to first cooperate with the treatment and monitoring of the neonatal department. After the full moon, you can come to our outpatient clinic to hear the doctor's analysis and suggestions.
