Patient's question:
My wife just had a son, which was supposed to be a happy event, but my son has been having problems since birth and has been sick frequently. Recently, he was diagnosed with late neonatal metabolic acidosis. He already had jaundice, and now this new condition has been detected.Hello, my child already has jaundice and late neonatal metabolic acidosis. How should I take care of him?
Doctor's answer:
Children in this age group are most likely to have physiological or pathological jaundice. Depending on the symptoms, targeted treatment measures should be adopted under the guidance of a doctor. If severe complications such as acid-base imbalance or metabolic acidosis are present, the cause should be diagnosed, and oxygen therapy should be provided. Vital signs should be closely monitored. Digestive sodium bicarbonate solution should be administered.
