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 appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. How should I handle jaundice that hasn't gone away after 13 days?Doctor's answer:
Hello, neonatal jaundice is divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological jaundice usually resolves in full-term infants within 7-14 days and in preterm infants within 2-3 weeks. Generally, serum bilirubin levels in physiological jaundice do not exceed 12 mg/dL, and your child's level is not too high. You can have regular follow-up checks. Wishing your child good health.Children are harmed by neonatal diseases, so parents must take them to a doctor immediately for treatment to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to closely observe changes in their child's symptoms and do their best to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
