Patient's question:
My daughter has been born for forty days. She started showing signs of jaundice on her face about three or four days after birth. A week or so after discharge, it became more pronounced. Later, I heard it was physiological jaundice, which subsided on its own after about two weeks without medication. Could you please tell me how to get rid of neonatal jaundice quickly?Doctor's answer:
The current situation is that the child, who is over 40 days old, still has jaundice. Pathological jaundice cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to promptly visit a good hospital's pediatric department for examination, tests, and diagnosis to clarify the condition. After confirming the diagnosis, active treatment to reduce jaundice should be provided.For jaundice in children, blue light therapy can be used to promote the early excretion of bilirubin from the body. Timely treatment is necessary to avoid potential damage to brain cells caused by excessively high bilirubin levels.
