Patient's question:
The baby hasn't been born for long. The baby's health hasn't been very good recently. It was noticed that the baby's eyes are a bit yellow. Looking at the diapers, there is also a light tea color. Some concerns. Just wanted to ask, is it normal for newborn jaundice to have tea-colored urine?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Jaundice often appears shortly after a child is born. Many parents become anxious when they encounter this situation. They worry whether this condition will affect their child's health in the future. In fact, most cases of neonatal jaundice have a good prognosis. There is no need to worry too much. Neonatal jaundice is often related to the special physiological environment of newborns. Physiological jaundice is a normal physiological phenomenon and is unavoidable. However, it can gradually subside on its own. It rarely lasts more than two weeks. Most of the time, it completely disappears within 10 days. If the jaundice does not subside after 2-3 weeks or recurs, it must be pathological jaundice. Pathological jaundice, as long as it is treated and controlled early, is generally not a major problem. Generally, jaundice is caused by reduced bilirubin excretion. If you feel abnormal, it is recommended to seek treatment in the neonatal department of the hospital.
