Patient's question:
Two days ago, my youngest son was born. Today, the doctor checked and said he has jaundice. The baby can eat and sleep, and it doesn't seem very yellow on his face. Why does he have jaundice? What are the symptoms of jaundice in newborns?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to answer for you! According to your description, jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice usually begins three to four days after the baby is born, especially on the face. It will disappear on its own within about half a month, not exceeding one month. If it is pathological jaundice, then the baby is born, which is related to the blood type of his parents. The so-called blood dissolution needs to be treated in a timely manner. If the condition is severe, a blood transfusion is needed.
