Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please tell me what screening method is used for phenylketonuria in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Newborn screening for phenylketonuria, the blood sample taken generally requires careful examination through venipuncture. If a child's growth and development are abnormal, it is often due to blood disorders. The specific situation should be determined based on the results. It is recommended not to have excessive mental stress. If no oral medications or other discomforts were experienced during pregnancy, the problem is usually not serious. It is important to pay close attention and observe the child regularly for any other discomforts.
