Patient's question:
My baby has only been born for about ten days, and jaundice has appeared on her body. After taking some medicine, there was no significant effect. Due to this condition, the baby has no appetite, and even if she eats, she will vomit it out. For more than ten days, she hasn't gained any weight at all. I would like to learn about the nursing methods for newborn jaundice.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice. The first thing to consider is whether 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, it is pathological jaundice and requires hospital treatment if there are no other complications. The symptoms you described should be physiological jaundice. Pay attention to keeping the newborn warm. Feed appropriately earlier. Provide sufficient water and energy. Promote early defecation to reduce the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin, which can alleviate the degree of physiological jaundice.
