Patient's question:
Jaundiced complexion, a bit nauseous, slept very soundly.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Physiological jaundice refers to the yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes in a newborn starting from 2-3 days after birth, without other symptoms. This type of jaundice lasts for a short duration and typically resolves on its own within 7-10 days.Recommendations: For premature infants, jaundice may take 3-4 weeks to resolve on its own. It can also be helped by exposure to ultraviolet light or spending more time in sunlight. As for pathological jaundice, it refers to jaundice that does not subside. The most important reference data for assessing jaundice in infants is the total serum bilirubin level. When the total serum bilirubin exceeds 205 μmol/L and is accompanied by various clinical symptoms, pathological jaundice should be considered. Further medical evaluation is necessary for diagnosis and treatment.
