Patient's question:
...28.520 days... Unaware of the previous treatment and its effectiveness: What kind of assistance is needed during the hospital stay: Help me with some suggestions. Thanks...Doctor's answer:
Physiological jaundice usually reappears 2-3 days after birth, peaks between 4-6 days, and fades away within 10-14 days. Premature infants have a longer duration. Besides slight loss of appetite, physiological jaundice generally causes no other discomfort. Pathological jaundice in newborns appears within 24 hours after birth and does not fade away even after 3 weeks, or may persist or reappear after fading. Pathological jaundice severely affects the baby's liver, spleen, and other organs.Advice: If the man smoked drugs before pregnancy, it poses significant harm to his own health, which in turn interferes with sperm quality, affects the fertilized egg, and ultimately harms the fetus. The severity of harm varies depending on individual circumstances. For example, it may disrupt the liver and gallbladder development of the fetus, leading to bile leakage and subsequent jaundice. If your child has physiological jaundice, there is no need to worry. However, if it is pathological jaundice, hospitalization and treatment are necessary. After recovery, attention should be paid to the child's nutrition to improve their physical condition.
Doctor's Inquiry: What specifically does the "28.5" you mentioned refer to? Is it total bilirubin in the serum?
