Patient's question:
The child's cheeks and legs are yellow, while other parts are normal. Jaundice started appearing 3 days after birth. There was a history of asphyxia before birth, and the amniotic fluid was moderately cloudy. Now, at 37 days after birth, the jaundice has not subsided.Doctor's answer:
Hello, a baby with jaundice for a month is not normal and requires treatment. If the baby has mild jaundice, some medication can be taken. Currently, the color of the stool is related to the oral medication. It's okay, if it works, it should take effect within 3-5 days. If the treatment is not effective, a liver function test should be done to check the level of bilirubin. If necessary, you will need blue light irradiation. Wish your baby healthy growth! The above is advice on "neonatal jaundice not subsiding," hoping it helps you. Wish you health!
