Patient's question:
My child was just born not long ago. Previously, it was discovered that they had jaundice. Now it has been a month, but the jaundice has not subsided. Wasn't it supposed to be gone in a few days? What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello. If the baby still has for one more month now, this situation needs to be considered as pathological jaundice. If breastfeeding, it should be considered whether it is caused by breast milk jaundice. You can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. If it is confirmed to be caused by pathological jaundice, it should be handled according to the situation. If it is caused by breastfeeding, breastfeeding can be temporarily stopped to observe whether there are any changes in a few days. It is recommended that the child can be given a little water daily, which is also helpful for jaundice.
