The baby has only been born for half a month, but since the fourth or fifth day, it has had neonatal jaundice, which has not subsided until now. What causes neonatal jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice includes two types:1. Physiological jaundice: Relatively more bilirubin is produced, the liver cell's ability to take up bilirubin is insufficient, and there is a defect in bilirubin excretion. This is unrelated and can return to normal.
