Patient's question:
Peak period of baby jaundice. Yellowing appeared on her face, and there was a little yellow on the soles of her feet. The baby can sleep for three or four hours continuously before waking up to drink milk, and she can suck milk vigorously. Sometimes she vomits milk. How to distinguish the type of baby jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Infant jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice symptoms are generally mild, with jaundice levels within 12-15. Pathological jaundice has severe symptoms and relatively higher jaundice levels, so jaundiced infants can be appropriately supplemented with fluids and fed reasonably. If it is pathological jaundice, the cause must be identified, and primary diseases should be treated. Medications can be used, and blue light therapy can be applied to prevent the occurrence of bilirubin encephalopathy on one side.
