NoDoctor's answer:
Pathological jaundice can lead to bilirubin encephalopathy when severe, commonly referred to as "kernicterus." It causes neurological damage, resulting in severe sequelae such as intellectual disability in children, and even death. Therefore, when a child develops jaundice, if any one of the above five aspects is present, parents should pay high attention. This allows for the early detection of pathological jaundice so that timely treatment can be administered.
