Patient's question:
My friend's child is three years old this year. The little one is very lovable. Every time they meet, they call me "Auntie, Auntie." Yesterday, my friend called me, and her voice sounded like she had just cried. I asked her what was wrong, and she said the little one had hemolytic anemia. What are the symptoms of hemolytic anemia in children?Doctor's answer:
Babies with hemolytic anemia may experience various symptoms again, primarily manifesting as jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, and anemia symptoms, which can also include yellowing of the eyes and skin. In mild cases, the progression is slow, and the overall impact is minor. In severe cases, the condition progresses rapidly. If this situation is not resolved for a long time, it can lead to a series of symptoms of anemia, primarily fatigue, dizziness, pale complexion, and the like. Severe cases can affect the child's growth and development, and in extreme cases, it may even lead to bilirubin encephalopathy or even death.
