Patient's question:
8-day-old male infant, delivered via cesarean section, developed jaundice again after three days. The jaundice improved significantly after blue light treatment. Two days ago, he was observed having head jerks to the right and right upper limb jerks, occurring 3-4 times a day, each lasting for several seconds. There were no abnormal secretions from the mouth or nose, and his mental state was good after the recurrence.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is possible that this situation may be related to a nervous system issue. Currently, it is recommended that follow-up visits be scheduled, and careful neurological examinations should be considered to determine how jaundice may have caused neurological damage. In fact, having a cesarean section is not something to be feared. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided upon early detection, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
