Patient's question:
My daughter is 3 years old. I've noticed some abnormalities recently. Could you please tell me: What are the treatment methods for neonatal jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Light cases will fade within 2 to 3 days, and the skin color will return to normal by the 5th to 6th day. In severe cases, jaundice can spread from the head to the feet and affect the entire body. The vomit and cerebrospinal fluid may also turn yellow, with the duration lasting more than a week. In some premature infants, it may persist for up to 4 weeks, with the stool still remaining yellow and no bilirubin in the urine. Close observation is required, and blue light treatment may be necessary if needed. Regular follow-up is important, and in most cases, the condition will resolve on its own within half a month.
