Will my baby have cerebral palsy if he has high jaundice?

Newborns are prone to symptoms of jaundice after birth, which is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. For physiological jaundice, just emphasize nutrition, but if it is pathological jaundice, you must pay attention to it. Pathological jaundice may also cause more serious conditions in the baby, and even permanent damage to the child's nervous system, and may cause cerebral palsy in the baby.

Will jaundice cause cerebral palsy? When a baby is just born, many common diseases will cause cerebral palsy if not treated in time, which will bring disaster to the baby's life and the baby's family. Therefore, mothers will worry about whether jaundice will cause cerebral palsy in the baby?

In fact, physiological neonatal jaundice will not cause cerebral palsy in babies. However, if pathological jaundice occurs and is not treated in time, serious diseases such as respiratory failure and kernicterus will occur. At this time, even if the jaundice is cured, the baby's nervous system has been permanently damaged, leading to cerebral palsy. Therefore, mothers must pay close attention to their baby's condition, detect jaundice early, and provide timely treatment to effectively avoid cerebral palsy caused by jaundice.

Tips for caring for children with jaundice at home: 1. Pay attention to the color of your baby's stool. Pay attention to the color of your baby's stool. If there is a problem with the liver or bile duct, the stool will turn white, but it will not turn white suddenly, but will become lighter and lighter. If the stool suddenly turns yellow, you must take it to a doctor. This is because under normal circumstances, the bilirubin processed by the liver will be excreted through the bile duct to the intestines, which is why the feces have color. However, when the biliary tract is blocked, bilirubin accumulates in the liver and cannot be excreted, which will cause liver damage. In this case, surgery must be performed within two months of the baby to clear the bile duct or create a new bile duct to improve the condition.
