Patient's question:
Does high jaundice affect the brain? I'm very worried. My child has had this for a long time, and I'm afraid it will get worse.Doctor's answer:
If jaundice is not treated in time and gradually increases, it may lead to kernicterus, which can affect intelligence. If the baby's jaundice level drops and then rises again, it should be pathological jaundice. It is best to go to the hospital for blue light treatment, as it can reduce jaundice quickly and is effective. Try to make the baby eat more milk, as eating more and urinating more can also help reduce jaundice. At the same time, it is recommended to expose the baby to sunlight daily and take them to the hospital frequently to monitor the bilirubin index. Adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner based on the bilirubin index.
