Question
My baby was born two weeks ago and was carefully diagnosed with a slightly severe case of neonatal hemolytic jaundice. I would like to ask the doctor if neonatal hemolytic jaundice can be cured?
Answer
Based on your description, it is estimated that neonatal hemolytic jaundice can be treated. The general methods include phototherapy and surgery. It is recommended to undergo active treatment as soon as possible, as delayed treatment may trigger the recurrence of complications. This not only includes skin and iris jaundice but may also lead to the recurrence of jaundice in the brain’s core nerve cells, affecting the neonate’s intellectual growth and development. There are many treatment methods for the disease, but since the patient’s condition varies, the medical treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to go to a professional for detailed examination as soon as possible to treat the symptoms accordingly.
