Patient's question:
My baby was just born last month, and this month is his upcoming full moon day. He had jaundice right after birth, but it hasn't gone away yet. We are a bit anxious, so I would like to ask what could be the reasons for newborn jaundice not subsiding and what should be done about it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Neonatal jaundice, if it's physiological jaundice, usually subsides within two weeks. However, if it hasn't improved after a month, it may be pathological jaundice. It's recommended to have a check-up and treatment at a regular hospital. Generally, early jaundice is best treated with some blue light exposure. In daily life, we should pay attention to giving him more water to drink and more sunlight.
