Patient's question:
My doll is one year old this year. A few days ago, when I was in the hospital, the doll was found to have high jaundice. My doll's father and I were very worried and anxious. I would like to ask the expert if jaundice in the baby's brain is treatable.Doctor's answer:
If the jaundice is very high, it will enter the brain. It is recommended to measure the blood bilirubin level. Jaundice is caused by an increase in blood bilirubin. If Bilirubin is too high and enters the brain, it may lead to bilirubin encephalopathy. If treatment is not timely, it may cause cerebral palsy. Currently, there are no symptoms of encephalopathy, such as drowsiness, difficulty waking up, convulsions, and difficulty eating. Currently, there is no bilirubin encephalopathy, but it is necessary to actively seek medical treatment for jaundice.
