Question
My child was born just 70 days ago, and I’ve noticed that his face and eyes have turned yellow, and his discharge is slightly yellow as well. Examination has revealed biliary atresia. How should it be treated?
Answer
Hello, generally speaking, biliary atresia is a developmental issue that requires surgical treatment. Typically, it is important to seek pediatric surgical treatment in the hospital promptly to avoid the exacerbation of jaundice leading to brain damage. It is necessary to undergo surgery in a timely manner, and it is best to follow the advice of the hospital doctor first. Wait for further examination and diagnosis before deciding on appropriate treatment. Also, don’t worry too much. Pay attention to diet and vitamin supplementation in everyday life.
