Newborn jaundice has not subsided. Why is this?

Patient's question:

Neonatal jaundice, it doesn't seem to be improving. Why is that? What should be paid attention to on a daily basis? What can be done?

Doctor's answer:

The baby has jaundice, including breast milk jaundice, physiological jaundice, and pathological jaundice. It is recommended to have liver function tests and then proceed with treatment. We should closely monitor the changes in the condition, pay attention to the child's cough and body temperature. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, it is best to complete it under the guidance of a doctor. If a newborn with pneumonia is found to be positive for Mycoplasma, it must be diagnosed and treated by a doctor, and discharge is temporarily not allowed. For a baby who is breastfed for 18 days, if breastfeeding is required, consider breast milk jaundice. It is recommended to drink more boiled water and take Yin Zhi Huang to alleviate jaundice.
