Patient's question:
Premature baby, the baby is 16 days old, with jaundice all over the body, more jaundiced on the face, and now the whites of the eyes are also jaundiced. The skin test is 10 or above but not exceeding 13. Should I be hospitalized?Doctor's answer:
I'm not sure how long newborn jaundice can last. My child is the same, he was discharged about three months ago. Before the full moon, I took my baby to the hospital for a week of jaundice treatment. Advice: If the doctor doesn't say the condition is serious, it will be resolved without any treatment. By the way, it's recommended to drink more glucose water, which helps with the yellowing. I hope you are satisfied with my answer about how long newborn jaundice can last.
