Question
What diseases can a five-month-old baby have? How can one distinguish between symptoms that belong to pediatrics and those that belong to internal medicine? Can a five-month-old baby experience jaundice symptoms?
Answer
Pathological jaundice may occur in a five-month-old baby, usually related to liver dysfunction, hemolytic reactions, or bile duct obstruction. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to determine the cause. Children have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, it is important not to become overly anxious and to take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment promptly, following the doctor’s guidance for symptomatic treatment.
