Question
What are the symptoms of newborns on the verge of death due to illness?
Answer
Newborns on the verge of death due to illness may present with symptoms such as jaundice, blueish facial color, and inability to breastfeed independently. Many infants with congenital bile duct obstruction die due to ascites or liver cirrhosis. Additionally, these infants may experience organ failure symptoms such as renal failure and respiratory failure before death, with many dying due to an inability to breathe autonomously.
