Patient's question:
A child was born not long ago, and they went to the hospital for a check-up. The check-up revealed high jaundice and also mentioned that the muscles in their hands, feet, and waist were quite stiff, which could affect their future development. Now the child has been hospitalized for a month. What should be done about neonatal jaundice and stiffness?Doctor's answer:
General neonatal hardening syndrome is a syndrome caused by the hardening of the skin and subcutaneous fat due to frostbite, infection, or preterm birth, often accompanied by hypothermia, and even multiple organ dysfunction. According to the symptoms, it is necessary to ensure adequate calorie and fluid supply, and use certain medications based on the function of the organs. In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for observation and treatment. If you feel that the treatment effect of this hospital is not very significant, you can change to another hospital.
