Question
If a newborn screening test shows an abnormal result, what should I do? Is it really that important to have newborn checks? I am very worried and don’t know what to do.
Answer
Based on your description, newborn disease screening is conducted to rule out certain congenital diseases. If there are abnormal results, it is recommended that you have a follow-up examination as soon as possible. Many diseases can be controlled through early intervention, and without timely treatment, irreversible damage may occur. It is advised that you consult with a doctor in detail to understand your child’s condition and take appropriate treatment measures.
