Patient's question:
Newborn jaundice has been 12 days today, both the face and eyes are yellow. Is newborn jaundice serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the child's condition, it is possible that it may be breast milk jaundice. Is the child breastfeeding? If so, it is recommended to stop for three days and try feeding with formula milk. Additionally, it is advisable to test the bilirubin levels. Regarding the hearing screening, it primarily checks for abnormalities in the early hearing of newborns, and the duration of the screening varies. As long as the baby passes the examination, it indicates that the hearing is normal. It is important to note that this test should not be performed multiple times in a day, as it can still have some impact on the baby.
