Patient's question:

The child is only 70 days old now. Mostly in these days, I noticed his face and eyes are yellow, and his excrement is also a bit yellow. After examination, it was found to be biliary atresia. How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally speaking, biliary atresia is a developmental issue that requires surgical treatment. Generally, it is important to promptly seek pediatric surgical treatment at a hospital to avoid the worsening of jaundice and brain damage. It is necessary to undergo surgery in a timely manner. It is best to first follow the advice of hospital doctors and wait for further examination and diagnosis. Then, based on the child's condition, appropriate treatment can be taken. Do not worry too much, and pay attention to diet and vitamin supplementation in daily life.
