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: When newborn jaundice is severe, the complexion changes from yellow to red-yellow, is it getting better?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice, first consider it is physiological jaundice. As long as it is not severe, it can usually disappear completely within 2 weeks. If the jaundice is relatively severe or persists without improvement, it is pathological jaundice, requiring hospital treatment. If there are no other diseases of the second neuron, the symptoms you described should be physiological jaundice. Pay attention to keeping the newborn warm, appropriately advance feeding, provide sufficient water and heat energy, and promote the early discharge of meconium to increase the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin, which can reduce the severity of physiological jaundice. Neonatal jaundice is a very serious condition. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
