Patient's question:
Newborn jaundice not resolving, my daughter is 35 days old and her face is still a bit yellow. Is this considered jaundice not resolving? The child is exclusively breastfed, and the yellow stool is normal. What should we do about this? Our medical conditions in the countryside are not very good. Is there any good solution?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is recommended to first check at the hospital whether the jaundice is breast milk jaundice or hepatobiliary jaundice. If it is breast milk jaundice that persists for two days, please drink more milk during this period to prevent milk reflux. If it is caused by hepatobiliary issues, timely treatment is necessary. This condition has physiological and pathological key points. According to the current measurement of bilirubin, the increase in total bilirubin is not significant, and blue light treatment is not required.
