Patient's question:
Male, 1-month illness/symptoms: 35 days, baby jaundice index 250. The entire face is yellow. Description of the condition: My baby is one month old. Currently, it's the fifth day. The yellow bile number at the center of the forehead is 250. It's obviously yellow all over the face with the naked eye. What about the sclera?Doctor's answer:
Hello. The baby may have physiological jaundice. Physiological jaundice begins to increase 2-3 days after birth. It usually subsides within about 10 days. It returns to normal within two weeks at the latest. If jaundice does not subside for a long time, it is pathological jaundice. We are very sorry. You need to see a doctor as soon as possible. The baby needs to be checked for the cause of pathological jaundice. And targeted treatment results should be followed. Blue light irradiation treatment is generally adopted. We should not worry about neonatal jaundice, which is a common disease. We should treat it as soon as possible and wish the baby a healthy growth.
