Patient's question:
Jaundice in the eyes, normal urination, irregular bowel movements daily, good spirits and sleep, appetite and food intake are acceptable, onset time and cause: congenital.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Neonatal jaundice can be either physiological or pathological. If it is physiological jaundice, it does not require special treatment and will resolve on its own. Pathological jaundice is caused by diseases that lead to abnormal metabolism of bilirubin. A serum bilirubin level that exceeds the normal range by 2 mg/dL but is less than 12 mg/dL indicates this condition. If your child's jaundice falls into this category, you do not need to worry.Advice: When checking serum bilirubin levels, if the level exceeds 12 mg/dL or rises too quickly—more than 5 mg/dL per day—it is considered pathological jaundice. You can first take your child to the hospital for examination. The doctor will provide advice based on your child's condition. Treatment generally includes hospitalization or medication. If the condition is not severe, it is recommended to start with medication at home first. If there is no improvement after a week, you can then consider hospitalization. After all, the child is still young, and it is more convenient to manage at home. Moreover, this is not a major issue, so there is no need to be overly concerned.
