Neonatal epilepsy can be caused by various factors, including central nervous system infections.

Neonatal jaundice usually appears within 2-3 days after birth and reaches its peak between 4-6 days, then gradually diminishes. For full-term infants, jaundice typically subsides within 2 weeks after birth; for premature infants, it may take up to 3 weeks. The severity of jaundice is generally mild, with the baby’s skin color turning pale yellow, and jaundice usually only affects the face and upper body. During the period of jaundice, the baby remains in good overall condition, with normal body temperature, appetite, and normal color of urine and stool, as well as normal growth and development.

Parents inquire about the reasons why a baby still has jaundice after 20 days of birth, and how to handle the situation.

Common causes of neonatal asphyxia include brain hypoxia due to difficult childbirth, which may lead to asphyxial symptoms. Timely treatment can prevent brain damage.

Understanding the Causes and Treatment Methods of Neonatal Jaundice

Neonatal jaundice can be treated with blue light therapy, with costs and treatment duration varying by hospital. Typically, it requires hospitalization for 3 to 5 days and continued blue light exposure for about a week. In severe cases, blood transfusion may be necessary.

The Consequences of Neonatal Hypoxia and Recommendations for Management

Most neonates will experience normal physiological jaundice again, as long as the baby is in good spirits, feeding well, and does not have symptoms of convulsions or twitching. Moreover, if the baby receives timely symptomatic treatment when jaundice recurs, it generally will not lead to bilirubin encephalopathy, thereby not affecting the baby’s intelligence.

Neonatal pneumonia is a common pediatric disease with a course of about two weeks. However, if not properly cared for or if there is another cold, it may lead to the recurrence of pneumonia.

The impact of neonatal tetanus depends on the severity of the illness. Early administration of antibiotics and serum tetanus antitoxin (TAT) can help control the condition.
