Patient's question:
The next day, the doctor measured the jaundice index at 15 with the instrument. The third day, it was measured at 18.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to use blue light therapy, as it has minimal impact on the baby. Physiological jaundice typically appears 2-3 days after birth, peaks between the 5th and 7th day, and usually resolves within 10-14 days. In premature infants, it may persist until the 3rd to 4th week. It is important to follow the doctor's treatment plan and avoid using medications without medical advice. The child is at risk of neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is crucial. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
