Patient's question:
What should I do if my baby has yellow phlegm that is getting worse after five or six days of birth? I used that machine at the hospital to check it, and the reading was 114 yesterday and 144 today. The doctor said I need to be transferred to the pediatric department. Is there a serious problem?Doctor's answer:
For babies born normally, if they are full-term, jaundice usually reappears after three to five days. The peak period is around five to seven days, and it gradually fades within one to two weeks. As long as the baby is in good spirits, feeding well, and urinating and defecating normally, and if you let the baby get more sunlight and give oral Yinzhihuang oral liquid, then the jaundice is normal physiological jaundice. It will gradually fade away. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby's jaundice gets worse after five or six days of birth? Use the hospital's advice." I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
