Patient's question:
My daughter has been born for four days, and her skin has been yellow all along. She is in an incubator. The doctor said it's mild jaundice, but I don't know what's going on. Is baby jaundice related to the number of days?Doctor's answer:
Baby jaundice, if the baby appears jaundiced around three to four days old, and the baby is in good spirits and eating and drinking well, this is normal physiological jaundice and has nothing to do with the mother. Adopt the method of close observation, allowing the baby to eat, drink, and defecate more, and monitor the jaundice index. As long as the jaundice gradually subsides or the jaundice index is within the normal range, no treatment is recommended. It is recommended to go to a better hospital for a check-up.
