Patient's question:
My baby is now four months old and a premature baby. His body has always been very weak, and until now, I haven't dared to take him for a bath, fearing something might go wrong. Moreover, he has been diagnosed with many issues, and I don't understand what is happening. Could you please advise on how to handle patent ductus arteriosus jaundice in premature babies?Doctor's answer:
Premature infants may not be caused by patent ductus arteriosus, but rather by congenital heart development abnormalities. Conservative treatment is ineffective in this case, and the best treatment is surgical intervention. In addition to the patent ductus arteriosus, neonatal jaundice was also found in the child. If diagnosed with pathological jaundice, the child's bile ducts should be examined to rule out congenital biliary atresia.
