Patient's question:
The child has been alive for 26 days since birth, and the jaundice has not subsided. Treatment history and effectiveness: Received medication from the hospital. What kind of help is desired: How can the jaundice be resolved?Doctor's answer:
Physiological jaundice appears 2 to 3 days after birth, peaks between 4 to 6 days, and disappears within 7 to 10 days. If it hasn't faded after half a month, this may indicate pathological jaundice. Exposing the baby to more sunlight and giving them some glucose water can help reduce jaundice. If the baby's skin remains very yellow, it's best to take them to the hospital to check their jaundice levels. If the levels are high, they may need to undergo blue light therapy.
