Patient's question:
Medical Description: Check-up at 14 days postpartum. Jaundice level remains at 252. Childcare advice to stop breastfeeding for three days and add medication treatment. As the baby has been exclusively breastfed on demand. This follow-up shows slightly low weight.Doctor's answer:
The primary consideration for neonatal jaundice is physiological jaundice. As long as it is not severe, it can completely disappear within two weeks. If the jaundice is severe or persistent, it is pathological jaundice and requires hospital treatment. Without complications from other diseases, the symptoms you mentioned should be physiological jaundice. It is important to ensure the newborn is kept warm, provide appropriate early feeding, and ensure sufficient water and caloric supply. Early elimination of fetal feces can reduce the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin in the intestines and liver, thereby lowering the severity of physiological jaundice.
