Patient's question:
My child was about four or five days old when the doctor said there was jaundice and needed to be hospitalized. They stayed for seven days. The discharge diagnosis stated it was caused by infection. When discharged, liver function was normal. The baby still has ABO hemolysis. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Analysis: Hello. The situation you mentioned is quite normal. Generally speaking, neonatal jaundice below 12 is considered physiological jaundice. Your condition may be pathological jaundice. Hospitalization and treatment is the best treatment method. Blue light therapy has little impact on infants. Most physiological jaundice occurs 2-3 days after birth, with a peak between 5-7 days and subsiding within 10-14 days. Premature infants may take longer to recover, with the condition improving after 3-4 weeks. It is recommended to follow the doctor's treatment plan and not take medication arbitrarily. I hope this helps.
