Patient's question:
Newborn jaundice not resolving. My daughter is 35 days old and her face is still a bit yellow. Is this considered jaundice not resolving? The child is exclusively breastfed. The stool is yellow, which is normal. What should we do about this? Our medical conditions in the countryside are not very good. Is there any good solution?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is recommended to first go to the hospital to check the nature of the jaundice—whether it is breast milk jaundice or hepatobiliary jaundice. If it is breast milk jaundice, please continue breastfeeding for two more days. During this period, drink more milk to prevent milk reflux. If it is caused by hepatobiliary issues, timely treatment is necessary. This condition has physiological and pathological key points. Based on the current measurement of bilirubin, the increase in total bilirubin is not significant, and blue light treatment is not required.
