What symptoms do newborns have before dying from illness?

Patient's question:

My baby is only two months old, but he has developed biliary atresia. In the past two days, he has stopped eating milk, his eyes are tightly closed, his whole body is yellow, and his face is purple. What are the symptoms before a newborn with a disease reaches the point of death?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question for you: First, the child will develop jaundice all over their body, with a bluish complexion, and will be unable to feed independently. Second, many children with biliary atresia die from liver ascites or liver cirrhosis. Additionally, many children with biliary atresia experience organ failure before death. Especially kidney failure and respiratory failure, many children die due to the inability to breathe independently.
