Patient's question:
My child was just born not long ago. They were previously diagnosed with jaundice, and now it has been a month, but the jaundice has not subsided. Wasn't it supposed to go away within a few days? What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the baby still has for one more month, this situation needs to be considered as pathological jaundice. If breastfeeding, it should be considered whether it is caused by breast milk jaundice. You can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. If it is confirmed to be caused by pathological jaundice, depending on the situation, if it is caused by breastfeeding, you can temporarily stop breastfeeding. Observe for a few days to see if there are any changes. It is recommended that the child can be given a little water daily, which also helps in reducing jaundice.
