Question
The baby was diagnosed with bilirubin encephalopathy after being born with jaundice and taken to the hospital. Is there still a possibility of the child developing cerebral palsy?
Answer
Bilirubin encephalopathy may cause intellectual disability, emaciation, and hepatic encephalopathy, requiring liver treatment. If not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is rapid, posing great harm to the infant. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their child’s condition and seek timely treatment.
