Patient's question:
My baby, now it's just 10 days old. I don't know if it was jaundice from birth, as the face is more yellow, quite noticeable. I wonder if if my wife has been breastfeeding all along, the left side of the body is more yellow in color.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby's face and body are yellow. This is jaundice, you say the yellowing is attracting attention. Neonatal jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. If it is physiological jaundice, it usually disappears within about a week, and at the latest, it will be delayed by 3 to 4 weeks. If it is pathological jaundice, it will be treated. The general treatment plan is to use blue light therapy. If combined with medication, the effect will be better.
