Question
What are the symptoms of neonatal jaundice?
Answer
The early symptoms of neonatal jaundice include lethargy, drowsiness, refusal to breastfeed, nausea, and vomiting. If the condition worsens, neurological symptoms may appear, such as intermittent crying, increased muscle tone in the limbs, and even seizures. Timely treatment can improve the condition, but if not treated promptly, it may lead to sequelae such as intellectual disability, tetany, hearing impairment, and delayed motor development.
