Patient's question:
My wife's health wasn't very good after getting pregnant. Due to some uncontrollable factors, the child was born prematurely. After birth, the child stayed in an incubator. The doctor said the child has neonatal jaundice. Now, the child has been in the incubator for half a month. I want to ask if neonatal jaundice can heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Hello. It is a pleasure to assist you. The possibility of neonatal hard edema self-healing is not high. It is recommended to take some treatment measures. Neonatal hard edema usually occurs within 7 to 10 days after birth. It is also common in premature infants. Cold and warm work can be strengthened for the child. If necessary, body temperature, heat, and liquid supplementation can be controlled to use some antibiotics to control infection. If there is organ dysfunction, symptomatic treatment should be given in a timely manner.
