What is the reason for the baby's jaundice that has not been diagnosed for three months?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be physiological jaundice. In mild cases, jaundice appears as a light yellow color, limited to the face and neck, or may extend to the trunk, with sclera also becoming yellow. It usually subsides within 2 to 3 days and the skin color returns to normal by the 5th to 6th day. In severe cases, jaundice can initially affect the head and then spread to the feet, covering the entire body. Vomiting and cerebrospinal fluid may also turn yellow, with the duration lasting more than a week. In some premature infants, it can persist for up to 4 weeks, with the stool still appearing yellow and no bilirubin in the urine. It is recommended to use blue light therapy, which can be effective.
