Patient's question:
Newborn jaundice, appeared on the third day of birth, measured at 13.8Doctor's answer:
Hello, the jaundice index is currently elevated, and it is necessary to consider neonatal jaundice. Clinically, there are two types: physiological and pathological, with the majority being physiological jaundice. This is often caused by hemolysis due to blood type incompatibility between the child and the mother, leading to the development of this condition. It can manifest as yellow skin and scleral icterus, which usually persists for a period of time. Currently, you can visit the hospital for treatment. It can gradually improve, but if it is severe, hospitalization may be required.
