Question
Is it easy to treat neonatal jaundice infiltrating the brain? What are the causes of this condition?
Answer
The treatment for neonatal jaundice infiltrating the brain is relatively difficult. Generally, jaundice appears 2-3 days after birth, reaches its peak at 5-6 days, and fades away within 2-3 weeks after a full-term baby is born. If the total bilirubin concentration exceeds 12, it may be pathological jaundice; when the bilirubin concentration exceeds 15, phototherapy is usually required. If bilirubin encephalopathy occurs, it may leave sequelae and require treatment with neurotrophic drugs. If treatment is not timely, it may lead to post-neurological sequelae. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment are very important. If there is anything else that needs adjustment or if you would like me to generate more content, please let me know!
