Patient's question:
When the child was born, it was found that the jaundice level was slightly high. After taking medicine for a few days, the re-examination showed a decrease. Is it still necessary to focus on drinking medicine to stabilize it? Please ask: What are the differences between pathological and physiological jaundice in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Physiological jaundice reappears 2-3 days after the baby is born, and the symptoms are generally not severe, fading away in 7-10 days. If it is pathological jaundice, it reappears early, disappears slowly, and the symptoms are severe, requiring laboratory tests to confirm bilirubin levels. There are several treatment methods for neonatal jaundice, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
