Patient's question:
Bilirubin index 279 No other symptomsDoctor's answer:
Physiological jaundice usually appears two or three days after birth, with a relatively mild degree of jaundice, good mental state, appetite, and weight gain. Pathological jaundice often appears earlier, around one day after birth, with severe jaundice and generally poor other conditions. Jaundice can be caused by many factors, such as infection, hemolysis, congenital gastrointestinal developmental abnormalities, breast milk jaundice, etc. The child is at risk of neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to observe changes in the child's symptoms and provide as much help as possible to ensure timely treatment for the disease.
