Patient's question:
My daughter is almost 50 days old, and her jaundice hasn't gone away. It's mild to moderate. Later, she was hospitalized for 5 days, and it finally subsided. But the test results are making me worried. What are the reasons for the child's jaundice not going away?Doctor's answer:
It doesn't matter. Resting for a few days will be fine. It is recommended to drink more water and get more sun exposure consciously to help with the jaundice. The wet nurse should pay attention to a light and easily digestible diet. If you're not sure, you can consult the doctor treating your child to see what he says. Generally, medication treatment is likely to cause abnormal blood tests, so you can wait and see for a while first.
