Patient's question:
My child has been born for 15 days. On the third day, jaundice reappeared again, and it hasn't subsided yet. The yellowness on the face is quite noticeable, the sclera is yellow, the teeth are yellow, and the body isn't very yellow. The color of the stool is yellow, and the frequency of urination is normal, with a light yellow color. Please tell me how to deal with the recurrence of neonatal jaundice after discharge from the hospital for my baby.Doctor's answer:
Jaundice is caused by a decrease in serum bilirubin concentration due to impaired decomposition and metabolism of bilirubin. Generally, physiological jaundice can fade within two weeks after birth. Currently, the child's jaundice has reappeared after fading, which indicates pathological jaundice. In this case, it is recommended to visit the hospital for blue light therapy.In addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important during the treatment of neonatal jaundice. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of neonatal jaundice.
