Patient's question:
The child has developed neonatal jaundice. The doctor prescribed medication, but after taking it, there was no improvement at all. The child's complexion remains dark and yellow. What should I do? Is neonatal jaundice easy to treat?Doctor's answer:
If this occurs in infants, the treatment should clearly identify the cause of jaundice. First, consider whether it is physiological or pathological. If jaundice occurs within 24 hours after birth, consider hemolysis and elevated direct bilirubin, which may indicate viral infection or liver and biliary diseases. There is also familial jaundice. If breast milk jaundice is treated with a 3-day drug withdrawal, the breast milk jaundice can be significantly reduced, bilirubin levels will drop and then rise again, requiring further examination.
