Patient's question:
My baby has developed pathological jaundice and has been undergoing phototherapy at the hospital at home. Currently, they are still being treated at the hospital at home, but there are suspicions of encephalitis symptoms. Is this treatable? Financially, we are a bit short on funds and are considering discharging the baby early. What dangers might there be?Doctor's answer:
The early symptoms of jaundice encephalitis are similar to a cold. The patient may have fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, lack of appetite, fatigue, and other symptoms. In severe cases, it can lead to convulsions, confusion, difficulty breathing, incontinence, and other symptoms. It is recommended to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and closely monitor the patient's condition. If there are any abnormalities, please seek professional medical examination and treatment at a good hospital as soon as possible. Stay in timely contact with the doctor.
