Patient's question:
The newborn baby has a bit of yellow on their skin. I'm a first-time parent and don't know much about it. I heard from others that newborn babies are supposed to develop jaundice. Is this situation normal? If the baby has jaundice, could you please tell me: The newborn's jaundice is a bit high, and they have been treated at the hospital. How long will it take to recover?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. In general, for full-term infants, bilirubin levels do not exceed 221 μmol/L. Your baby's serum bilirubin level is 328, indicating pathological jaundice.Recommendations: There are many causes of pathological jaundice, such as viral infections, neonatal hemolysis, congenital biliary malformations, etc. You should consult with the doctor to evaluate your child's condition and make a decision.
In addition to standard treatment for neonatal jaundice, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure good treatment outcomes.
