Patient's question:
My daughter was just born, and I've learned that newborns are prone to a common illness. What are the symptoms of neonatal jaundice? I'm worried about this issue, and as a parent, I don't know how to handle it, so I'm asking in advance.Doctor's answer:
Jaundice in infants can occur within 24 hours after birth, persist, or worsen after it subsides. Pathological neonatal jaundice can also lead to other diseases, such as kernicterus. When jaundice appears, the child's jaundice becomes significantly worse, initially、，. If not treated promptly, severe symptoms such as convulsions, crying, convulsions, and respiratory failure may occur. Some children die from respiratory failure, and surviving children often have sequelae such as intellectual disability and cerebral palsy.
