Patient's question:
Now newborns start showing at 27 days, is this considered normal or problematic?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the above description, your baby has physiological jaundice, currently 27 days old, and still has mild jaundice. Jaundice is a common symptom caused by abnormal metabolism of bilirubin, leading to its reflux into the bloodstream and resulting in increased bilirubin concentration in the serum, which causes yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, sclera, urine, etc. In addition to physiological neonatal jaundice, pathological jaundice can be divided into three categories. It is recommended to undergo a transcutaneous jaundice test at the hospital. If the jaundice level is less than 12.5 mg, blue light treatment should not be used. Oral hypbilirubinemia drugs can be used for treatment.
