Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby was just born a few days ago. A week ago, we took him home after discharge. Last night, we noticed (jaundice). What should we do about newborn?Doctor's answer:
The current situation is that the newborn has jaundice. If it appears again within a week after being born for a few days, it can be carefully observed. It is a normal phenomenon if it completely recovers in about a week, which is related to physiological jaundice and the growth and development of the child. For example, it may be related to excessive intestinal maturation or insufficient bile duct metabolism, or the liver's ability to decompose and metabolize is not functioning properly. Currently, careful observation can be done first.
