Patient's question:
The child in my sister's family has been born for two weeks. However, the jaundice has not subsided. My sister is very anxious. Is it normal for newborn jaundice not to subside after two weeks?Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to your information, the infant's jaundice has persisted for 2 weeks. Considering pathological jaundice, there are many reasons that can cause jaundice to delay resolution, such as breast milk jaundice, hepatitis syndrome, biliary atresia, etc. It is recommended to take the baby to the neonatal department of a local regular children's hospital for abdominal liver and biliary ultrasound and CT scans. Observe liver function, bilirubin, and bile acid to identify the cause of jaundice. Then, targeted treatment can be administered.
