Patient's question:
My son developed jaundice again shortly after birth. My friend said it would naturally fade, so I didn't pay much attention. For a while, it did indeed decrease, but then it flared up again within a few days. I'm quite worried now and want to know what to do about a newborn's jaundice flare-up?Doctor's answer:
The jaundice in the newborn returns after fading, the first step is to rule out whether it is breast milk jaundice. You can first stop breastfeeding for three days. If the jaundice fades significantly within these three days, it can be considered as breast milk jaundice. Breast milk jaundice generally has no significant impact on the baby's health. It is best to monitor the jaundice index and take oral jaundice-reducing medication if necessary. Also, get more sun exposure. The above can be used as a reference.
