Patient's question:
My baby's jaundice has been rising rapidly these last two days. His skin feels quite yellow, and his eyes are slightly yellow too. The baby has been crying and seems generally uncomfortable. He is still drinking milk, though not as well as before. Besides drinking milk, he hasn't eaten anything else. What should I do about neonatal jaundice in winter?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice usually reaches its peak around 7 days and subsides around 14 days. It has now been a month, and the baby has returned to being yellow. It can be taken orally. If it is still like this, it can be exposed to blue light. This is better. Pay attention to the baby's breastfeeding. General treatment is mainly blue light therapy, supplemented by other symptomatic treatments. If treatment is not timely, it may lead to bilirubin encephalopathy.
