Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of issues, and I am very concerned, fearing that the condition may worsen. What should I do if the newborn has jaundice and does not have a bowel movement after taking medication?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Clinically, neonatal jaundice can be divided into two types: physiological and pathological. Physiological jaundice usually appears 24 hours after birth, and the duration of jaundice does not exceed 4 weeks.Recommendations: If jaundice returns after subsiding, it should be noted. In pathological jaundice, the serum conjugated bilirubin level exceeds 34 micromoles per liter, and hospitalization is recommended for examination.
The child is suffering from neonatal hemolytic disease, so family members must take the child to seek medical treatment promptly to avoid blindly using small advertisements for medication. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
