Patient's question:
My baby was just born a few days ago. Maybe it's because all newborns have jaundice, but my baby's jaundice is particularly noticeable. However, a week has passed, and my baby's jaundice is still very severe. I want to know how to treat newborn jaundice and what the cost might be.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice usually subsides within two weeks. If a child's jaundice remains noticeable beyond two weeks, it is more likely to be pathological jaundice. The treatment for jaundice includes oral jaundice-reducing medications and blue light therapy, among other methods. To determine which treatment the child needs, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for relevant examinations to confirm the treatment plan.
