What should I do if a two-month-old baby has jaundice?

Patient's question:

Two-month-old baby has yellow sclera

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition:
1. Neonatal jaundice, first consider it as physiological jaundice. As long as it is not severe, it can usually disappear completely within 2 weeks. If the jaundice is relatively severe or persists without resolving, it is pathological jaundice and requires hospital treatment, especially if there are no other complications.
Suggestions:
The symptoms you described should be physiological jaundice. Pay attention to keeping the newborn warm, appropriately advancing feeding, providing sufficient water and energy, and expelling meconium early to reduce the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin, which can alleviate the severity of physiological jaundice. Wishing you good health!
