Patient's question:
After the child had been 12 days old, his face had already started to turn yellow and pale, and the color of his urine was also reddish-yellow. The color of his stool was also abnormal, and the child was in particularly poor spirits. When he went to the hospital, the doctor said he had jaundice and recommended hospitalization for treatment. How many days does newborn jaundice require hospitalization?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there is no fixed time for this. It depends on the severity of jaundice and the results of a thorough examination. If a thorough liver function test shows a decrease in total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin, the treatment should be chosen based on the specific values and the degree of jaundice reduction. So, there is no need to worry. When hospitalized, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment methods and don't be too anxious. The baby's health is the most important thing.
