Patient's question:
My baby was carefully diagnosed with jaundice a while ago, and is now undergoing blue light treatment. I'm worried about potential side effects. What should I do if neonatal jaundice doesn't go away?Doctor's answer:
Jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice, which is a normal physiological phenomenon in newborns. The main reasons for the recurrence of physiological jaundice are excessive bilirubin production and underdeveloped liver enzyme systems. It is caused by the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood. The former gradually decreases within the first month after birth, while the latter tends to gradually worsen. It is recommended to check for several hemolytic-related tests and use a few Yinzhihuang Granules to promote the recovery of jaundice. Patients need to go to a regular top-tier hospital as soon as possible to undergo systematic and standardized examinations according to their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
