Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago. Actually, I didn't want to at first. Because I always felt that the child wasn't very healthy. The whites of the eyes were always yellowish. Unlike other children. I want to know what causes newborn jaundice to worsen. I hope someone can answer me.Doctor's answer:
Fetal jaundice is often caused by damp-heat invasion affecting the pregnant woman, leading to postpartum fetal jaundice. Therefore, during pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to their diet. However, they should avoid cold foods, neither overly hungry nor overly full, and avoid alcohol and hot drinks to prevent damaging the spleen and stomach.2. After the baby is born, closely monitor their scleral jaundice. If jaundice is detected, seek treatment promptly and observe changes in the jaundice color to understand its progression or regression. The purpose is to observe systemic symptoms in jaundiced infants, such as depression, lethargy, difficulty sucking, panic, strabismus, rigidity, and convulsions, to enable early detection and treatment of severe cases.
