Patient's question:
Hello doctor, the newborn baby has high jaundice on the 6th day after birth. What should be noted?Doctor's answer:
Hello, baby's jaundice peaks at 4-7 days and gradually subsides after 7-10 days. The newborn is six days old. Due to abnormal bilirubin metabolism, elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood can cause jaundice, which can be divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice is not a problem. If the bilirubin level is too high, drink some water at home and get some sun exposure. Recheck after a few days. If the jaundice worsens, it is best to undergo blue light treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
