Patient's question:
Our little baby developed jaundice a few days after birth. I was wondering if I should buy medicine for the child to take for a few days?Doctor's answer:
According to what you said, if the child has physiological jaundice, it is generally not necessary to undergo special treatment, as it can resolve on its own. If it is pathological jaundice, then treatment targeting the underlying cause is required. If the child's yellowing symptoms are relatively severe, appropriate use of the aforementioned medications can be considered. Generally, it takes about a week, and it can resolve on its own within half a month. However, since the child is young, I recommend that medication should still be administered under the guidance and advice of a doctor.
