Patient's question:
13 weeks old baby, I don't know what the situation will be, later I learned that I was sick, please ask: How to treat jaundice in babies?Doctor's answer:
Children who are breastfed may experience a slower process of jaundice fading. Some may take one and a half months or even two and a half months to recover from jaundice, while others may not. This is usually due to breast milk jaundice. Generally speaking, under natural light, carefully observe the child's palm and sole (gently squeeze the child's palm or sole to push the red blood color away and observe the base color) for any yellowing. Under normal circumstances, if the jaundice is only present in the sclera, face, chest, and other areas, but not in the hands or soles, you can focus on careful observation at home. If you carefully observe that the hands and soles are also yellow, then it is necessary to go to the hospital for a heel blood test to check the bilirubin level.
