Patient's question:
The newborn baby is now 10 days old. Since the third day of birth, their face has been slightly yellow, and there hasn't been any improvement yet. Currently, only the face is yellow, but the body isn't. Because they are too young, we haven't taken them to the hospital yet.Doctor's answer:
Generally, physiological jaundice appears within 3 days after a baby is born, peaks around day 6, and may recur within 10 days. Generally, if you haven't been back for a long time, it should be considered pathological, possibly related to infections, etc. It is recommended to give the baby oral liquid. Generally, this is a routine medication used in hospitals. If there is no improvement within 3 days, you should go to a larger hospital in your area for a check-up.
