What are the complications of neonatal jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal hardening syndrome is prone to bleeding, especially pulmonary bleeding. Due to hypothermia, slow blood flow, and increased capillary permeability, this condition is very dangerous. Children often die because it is difficult to rescue them. Therefore, early detection of the condition and timely treatment are crucial. The most prominent symptom is skin changes. Initially, the skin is cool, hard, and difficult to pinch; then, the skin swells and has indents under pressure. It is commonly found on the outer surface of the lower legs and thighs. In severe cases, the skin on the face may harden, and sometimes blood blisters may form around the nose and mouth. Weak breathing is also a sign of a critical condition. Immediate hospitalization is necessary for rescue.
