Patient's question:
Patient Age: Born 20 daysMy baby has been born for 20 days and is a full-term infant. However, the jaundice has not subsided yet, and both the whites of the eyes and the tip of the tongue are still yellow. The baby eats frequently, and the amount is increasing, with very yellow stools. At birth, the baby weighed 6 jin, and now it is over 7 jin. The whites of the eyes were yellow at birth, but there were no obvious facial symptoms, and the tip of the tongue was not yellow.
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: It may be physiological jaundice. Drink more water, and don't worry too much. All cases of jaundice should be seen by a doctor, preferably a pediatrician. A skin test reading of 12.2 mg/dL for jaundice is normal, and anything below 12.9 mg/dL is considered normal. Don't worry.Recommendations: No hospitalization is needed, and don't trust any quacks. You should find a pediatrician. This child must drink some oral liquid. If necessary, one session of blue light treatment may be required. During the day, expose the child to sunlight for a few seconds. After all, if it continues to rise, the child will no longer be normal.
