Question
Can neonatal jaundice cause heart muscle damage?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice is a common issue that typically does not affect the baby’s health. It is important to find ways to treat the jaundice, such as increased water intake and medication. Severe jaundice may affect brain cells and lead to intellectual disabilities. There is a certain connection between jaundice and heart muscle damage, but after the jaundice subsides, the risk of heart muscle damage may decrease, and it can be treated effectively.
