Patient's question:
My neighbor's newborn child is 12 days old. After a contrast examination, it was diagnosed with biliary atresia. The doctor suggested two options: surgery or conservative treatment. I would like to know if medication for newborns with biliary can be prescribed?Doctor's answer:
Newborn bile duct medication can be prescribed based on the child's condition. If the newborn has biliary atresia, immediate surgical treatment is required if it is complete, as the prognosis is poor. If it is incomplete, conservative treatment can be initiated first. If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment is necessary. Most cases have a good prognosis. Biliary atresia is also one of the causes of severe neonatal jaundice, requiring prompt medical examination and treatment. Follow the doctor's advice.
