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 given their previous pneumonia, I'm very worried. Please ask: What should I do if a newborn's jaundice hasn't gone away after half a month?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, newborn jaundice requires a measurement of bilirubin. Based on the bilirubin level, it can be determined whether oral medication is needed or if hospitalization is required.Advice: It is recommended to measure the bilirubin level. If the jaundice is not severe, oral Yinzhihuang Granules can be used to eliminate the jaundice. If the level is very high, hospitalization treatment is necessary.
Newborn jaundice is a condition that is difficult to fully recover from. Friends with the condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they enhance their confidence in combating newborn jaundice and believe that recovery is certain.
