Question
What are the effects on children who have experienced hemolysis? Do they need to be treated in a hospital? How long will it take to improve? Please help me!
Answer
Hemolysis typically occurs due to blood type mismatch. For instance, if the mother is Rh-negative or O-type or another rare blood type, and the baby is not, it may lead to severe anemia and weakened immunity among other issues. Therefore, in terms of treatment, medication can be used, and if the effects are not satisfactory, blood transfusion may be considered. If your child has this issue, it is essential to follow the advice of local doctors, seek hospitalization early, and possibly undergo phototherapy to reduce jaundice. In some cases, blood transfusion may also be necessary.
