Patient's question:
Born eight days ago, on the sixth day, there was jaundice. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, physiological jaundice usually appears 2-3 days after birth, peaks 4-6 days later, and disappears within 7-10 days. Premature infants may have a longer duration. If jaundice appears one week after birth, it is considered pathological jaundice and requires phototherapy. In severe cases, a blood transfusion may be necessary. Oral Yinzhihuang oral liquid can be taken. First, go to the hospital for a check-up to identify the cause so that early symptomatic treatment can be provided.
