Is neonatal hemolytic disease difficult to treat? Do you need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to see improvement after treatment?
Answers
Neonatal hemolytic disease is a condition that appears within 24 hours of birth, characterized by rapid-onset skin jaundice, usually caused by an incompatibility between the mother’s and the newborn’s blood types, with the mother’s blood type often being O and the newborn being A or B. Treatment options include phototherapy, medication, and in severe cases, blood transfusion. Although neonatal hemolytic disease requires early diagnosis and prompt treatment, it is curable. It is recommended that parents take their child to a regular hospital for treatment and actively cooperate with the doctor’s medical measures. With appropriate treatment, the child will improve and can live a normal life like other children in the future.
