Patient's question:
My baby has developed pathological jaundice and underwent phototherapy at the hospital at home. They are still being treated at the hospital at home, but there are concerns about encephalitis symptoms. Is it treatable? We are a bit short on funds and are considering discharging early. What are the risks?Doctor's answer:
The early symptoms of jaundice encephalitis are similar to a cold. Patients may experience fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, and lethargy. In severe cases, symptoms can include convulsions, confusion, difficulty breathing, and incontinence. It is recommended to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, closely monitor the patient's condition, and seek professional medical examination and treatment at a good hospital as soon as possible if there are any abnormalities. Please contact the doctor promptly.
