Patient's question:
The child has been born for more than ten days. Previously, due to pneumonia, we couldn't see them in the ICU, and only recently have they been brought home. I noticed that the child's skin is a bit yellow, and combined with the previous pneumonia, I'm very worried. Please ask: What are the reasons for persistent jaundice in newborns?Doctor's answer:
It could be due to breast milk or formula, and it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out any medical interference.Recommendations: Breastfeeding mothers should avoid processed foods, carbonated drinks, spicy foods, fish, shrimp, seafood, raw and cold foods, and meat from cattle, sheep, and dogs.
Additionally, during the treatment for neonatal jaundice, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient should take digestive vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above information will be helpful to you. Thank you.
