Question
Health Consultation Description: Jaundice persisted until three months. Jaundice decreased after stopping breastfeeding for a week. Suspected breastmilk jaundice. Walked at 18 months old, slightly overweight, weighing 26 jin (about 13 kg) at over a year old. Now 2 years and 2 months old, weighing 33 jin (about 16.5 kg).
Answer
At 2 years and 2 months old, the baby weighs 33 kg and is 90 cm tall. The baby rarely gets sick, has normal hearing, and can only speak simple monosyllabic words. Teaching the baby to speak is unproductive, and the baby has difficulty concentrating, spinning around objects, playing, and talking to oneself. Newborn jaundice delayed for 3 months. Considering the baby’s delayed language development, normal hearing, and the possibility of autism in children, it is recommended to bring the baby to the local children’s hospital’s neurology department for routine blood tests, blood biochemistry tests, thyroid function tests, EEGs, and brain CT scans for a clear diagnosis. Early detection and early treatment can aid in recovery.
