What is the reason for newborn jaundice that doesn't go away for a long time?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. My baby is one week old. When my baby was just born, there was a lot of jaundice, and I thought it would gradually fade away. However, more than a week has passed, and there's no change at all. Doctor, what could be the reason for newborn jaundice not going away for a long time?

Doctor's answer:

If it doesn't fade after a long time, it may be pathological jaundice. It is recommended to actively arrange hospitalization for close observation, and cooperate with blue light and other nurturing and treatments. Otherwise, it may seriously affect the child's normal growth and development for a long time, and may also lead to liver function damage. Check how deep sleep and diet are normal. Pay attention to enhancing nutrition more in daily life, and it is better to eat small meals frequently.
