Question
Is there still a possibility of biliary atresia in a 5-month-old baby?
Answer
Based on your description, congenital biliary atresia is a developmental anomaly. It can cause symptoms such as intestinal dilation or jaundice. Generally speaking, after five months, this condition is unlikely to occur. According to your description of the above symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for liver and gallbladder ultrasound and other relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis. Pay attention to the baby’s personal hygiene, and make sure the baby drinks more water regularly, and develop a good attitude.
