Patient's question:
After the baby was born, the eyes were a little yellow. After two or three days, the face also turned yellow, and it became more severe day by day. Now, it has been over 50 days, and the face is still a little yellow, not as severe as when the baby was under the moon. I want to know what the harm of high jaundice in newborns is?Doctor's answer:
Now this child's jaundice has lasted for more than 50 days. If there is still jaundice, it must be pathological jaundice. If the jaundice index is high, it is very easy to develop lycopene encephalopathy, which can affect intelligence. Otherwise, treatment should be administered promptly. First, the child should go to a local hospital to check liver function and have an abdominal ultrasound of the liver and gallbladder to determine the cause of jaundice. This requires identifying pathological conditions and making timely diagnosis and treatment.
