Question

A 90-day-old infant has shown symptoms of jaundice. The infant experienced asphyxia and convulsions one day after birth and was treated and recovered in a city hospital. The doctor recommended a follow-up examination when the baby is three months old. What could be the cause of this condition? How difficult is the treatment? Can it be completely cured? Will there be any sequelae after recovery?

Answer

For a 90-day-old infant with jaundice, it is first important to consider whether the cause is dietary. If dietary factors are ruled out, the child should be taken to the hospital for further examination of liver function. The doctor will prescribe appropriate medication based on the examination results, and the dosage and method of medication should be strictly followed as instructed. In some cases, hospitalization may be necessary for treatment.
