Patient's question:
My doll has been alive for two months since it was born. Recently, it suddenly experienced a decrease in appetite, upper abdominal fullness, nausea, and vomiting. It was diagnosed with jaundice. There are several types of baby jaundice. How can they be differentiated? What are the different types of baby jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Under these circumstances, mainly refers to the phenomenon of yellow skin in babies when they are breastfeeding. If you stop eating, it will gradually disappear. Jaundice is both physiological and pathological. Pathologically, it is usually divided into three types: one is hemolytic, one is hepatic, and the other is obstructive. Physiological jaundice refers to transient jaundice caused solely by the characteristics of bilirubin metabolism. It can be caused by factors such as lifestyle, family history, delivery method, gestational age, and dietary type. It can resolve on its own after a period of time.
