Patient's question:
The child is a month old and still has a yellow complexion. How can I help the child get rid of the yellow better? What should I do about jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice refers to the condition during the neonatal period where abnormal bilirubin metabolism leads to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood, resulting in the yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera. It is the most common clinical issue in newborns. This condition can be categorized into two major types: physiological and pathological. Based on the current situation, the child is one month old, but the bilirubin has not disappeared, which may be related to pathological jaundice. We need to monitor the level of bilirubin and determine the cause based on clinical manifestations.
