Patient's question:
Baby is 14 days old. Today the baby has a very yellow complexion. It's hard for the baby to fall asleep. There are often startle symptoms, and the baby cries frequently. Before yesterday, the baby only cried when hungry or when needing to be changed. After being handled, the baby slept for 3 hours.Doctor's answer:
Jaundice is one of the most common diseases in newborns. If it is physiological jaundice, there is no need for concern as it is a normal phenomenon. However, if it exceeds the physiological range, it is essential to pay attention to whether there are other pathological changes. Therefore, mothers should pay special attention to their baby's skin color changes after returning home. If the above pathological jaundice occurs, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for observation.
