The harm of high jaundice in infants

Jaundice can be divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Pathological jaundice is relatively heavy, and pathological jaundice is usually dark in color. Babies often lose energy, are always in a groggy state, and even have some anxiety. Huang Heng's height will do harm to the baby's brain. If it is left unchecked for a long time, it will also affect the baby's intellectual development in the future. The harm to the baby is obvious.

Nerve injury

The serious consequence of jaundice is that bilirubin enters the brain and causes nerve damage to the baby, while breastfeeding will increase the absorption of bilirubin. Therefore, mothers should adjust their baby's feeding methods.

Scleral yellowing

Jaundice mostly occurs in the newborn period of the baby, and the mothers should clearly understand jaundice to facilitate the prevention of jaundice. If it is mild jaundice, it will not have much impact on the fetus. It may cause the baby's sclera to turn yellow and the urine to turn yellow. It usually fades after a few days.

kernicterus

But if the jaundice value is too high, it may lead to the combination of bilirubin and brain cells, causing bilirubin encephalopathy, that is, nuclear jaundice. Once nuclear jaundice occurs, it will destroy the baby's nervous system and endanger life. Even if it survives, there will be sequelae.
