Patient's question:
On April 15th, it was discovered that the body was turning yellow, and four creamy white pustules appeared on the body. Subsequently, when visiting the hospital, it was found that the pustules continued to grow in number, and later it was diagnosed that the baby had severe hemolysis. Currently, the baby is being treated at the Panzhihua Hospital.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be physiological jaundice. Physiological jaundice in mild cases appears pale yellow, limited to the face and neck, or may affect the trunk, and the sclera may also turn yellow. It usually subsides within 2 to 3 days and the skin color returns to normal by the 5th to 6th day. In severe cases, jaundice can start from the head and spread to the feet, affecting the entire body. Vomiting and cerebrospinal fluid may also turn yellow, with the duration lasting more than a week. In some premature infants, it may persist for up to 4 weeks, with the stool still appearing yellow and no bilirubin in the urine. It is recommended to use blue light therapy, which can be effective.
