Patient's question:
My baby is only a few months old, but I've noticed that compared to other babies of the same age, she seems to be always sleepy. For example, when I feed her milk, I'll find her falling asleep while eating. Shaking her gently doesn't help either. What are the symptoms of newborn jaundice that causes them to sleep a lot and be difficult to wake up?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice, which includes physiological jaundice, pathological jaundice, and breast milk jaundice, can be further classified into mild, moderate, and severe jaundice based on the plan. If a child exhibits jaundice accompanied by symptoms such as excessive sleepiness and difficulty waking up, it may be due to pathological jaundice. In cases where clinical symptoms resembling those of a four-year-old appear, early pediatric internal medicine examination is necessary to identify the cause and initiate treatment to prevent bilirubin encephalopathy caused by pathological jaundice.
