Patient's question:
Baby's 8th day of birth, today I feel that the skin around the eyes seems much yellower than before, and there is a lot of eye discharge. When will the jaundice of this newborn disappear? Is my baby's condition serious?Doctor's answer:
The timing should be determined based on the condition and physical status of the illness. Based solely on the description, it cannot be accurately determined. If jaundice occurs, it is recommended to promptly conduct tests such as the jaundice index and liver function tests, and choose treatment accordingly. Whether it is severe needs to be determined through examinations. When feeding, be careful to avoid choking, spilling milk, and vomiting, and prevent milk, food, and vomit from being inhaled into the lungs. According to the child's age and physical development, provide necessary and sufficient nutrition, and add complementary foods promptly and reasonably, such as vegetables, soy products, meat, eggs, etc.
