Patient's question:
Female 12 months illness description: Baby is 15 days old. Jaundice started from the third day, but it hasn't improved yet. Is this serious? Should we wait and see for a while or go to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
It is full-term. Is it exclusively breastfed? Is the child's appetite good? What color is the chair? Yes. If the parents' skin tone is white, the child will not be black. Don't worry about asking: The child's skin was very white at birth. If the jaundice subsides, will it be as white as when it was born? After a period of observation, about a week, there is no trend of improvement. Seen a doctor at the hospital. Asking: The child was delivered via C-section two days ago.
