Patient's question:
At about 18 days old, the baby started to turn yellow gradually. We thought it was normal for babies to be a bit yellow and didn't take him to the hospital. Later, when he was a month old, we had a thorough check-up at the hospital and found that his jaundice level was high. They recommended hospital treatment. All the hospital tests were normal except for slightly elevated bilirubin in his blood.Treatment history and effectiveness:
At 32 days old, the baby was hospitalized for treatment. All tests were normal except for slightly elevated bilirubin in his blood. He stayed in the hospital for a week and was discharged on April 5th. On the day of discharge, the baby was no longer yellow. However, two days later, he started to turn yellow again.
What kind of help is needed:
After treatment, will the baby's jaundice recur? And what could be the reason for it?
Doctor's answer:
The main causes of jaundice are physiological and pathological. Based on your description, it may be due to pathological reasons, such as liver diseases, biliary diseases, etc. How are you doing if you have a family history of liver disease, and have other adverse symptoms? The above is advice on the question "My son is 45 days old and still a bit yellow, what should I do?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
