Patient's question:
Our baby was just born about four or five days ago, but he has jaundice. How severe is jaundice in general, and how can it be judged? How many days does it usually take for the jaundice on a child's body to disappear? Are there any good ways or methods to remove jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the severity of jaundice in children usually requires hospitalization for related examinations to make a diagnosis. Under the guidance of a doctor, a reasonable treatment plan should be selected. Neonatal jaundice is generally detectable through serum bilirubin tests. Factors that can lead to children developing jaundice include congenital factors caused by genetic factors, as well as the diet, lifestyle, and medication effects of the pregnant woman during pregnancy, all of which can cause jaundice in children.
