Patient's question:
My baby was just born on the eighth day, and currently the child's jaundice is high. Seeing such a small child needing medical treatment makes me feel extremely heartbroken. I want to understand how to deal with high jaundice in newborns.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is a common condition. Generally, about half of full-term infants will develop jaundice in the first week, while the proportion for premature infants can be as high as 80%. Most cases of neonatal jaundice are physiological. Without treatment, they will resolve on their own. However, some cases are pathological and require attention. Fathers and mothers should be vigilant and seek medical attention promptly for their babies. Pay attention to whether it is caused by issues such as bile retention or biliary obstruction.
