What are the effects of jaundice not subsiding after two months?

Patient's question:

The baby is now two months old, but the jaundice has not decreased. Please let me know if it has any impact on the baby.

Doctor's answer:

The opinion of your child regarding the diagnosis of hyperbilirubinemia is valid. It is recommended to repeat:° jaundice for 50 days, with a high jaundice level. This pathological jaundice requires detailed examination in the hospital. Jaundice has many causes. Infection, biliary obstruction, hypothyroidism, breast milk jaundice, and other various reasons can all lead to jaundice. Although the jaundice level is now lower than before, due to the extended hospital stay, it is still most suitable for a detailed examination in the hospital. Of course, oral jaundice-reducing medication, stopping breastfeeding, and more sunlight can be given to the child simultaneously.
