Patient's question:
My friend got pregnant before me, and her baby was born last week. However, less than a week later, she said her baby developed neonatal jaundice and was taken to the hospital for observation and treatment. I want to ask about neonatal jaundice in babies around 20 days old.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of hard edema:1. The child's skin has three characteristics:
- Hard: The skin becomes hard all over or in localized areas, unable to be pinched, with a blue or yellow color, stiff limbs, and a lack of sensation.
- Cool: The skin feels cool.
- Swollen: Edema can be seen as a sagging appearance under skin pressure.
2. The children have low responsiveness and exhibit "five asymptomatic" signs, including no appetite, no crying, no movement, no fever (temperature not rising), and no weight gain.
3. The children often sleep and are difficult to wake up. Short urine output, dry stools, muffled heart sounds, slow heart rate, and a high susceptibility to pneumonia.
