Patient's question:
It's nothing wrong with the weather, since birth till now, the treatment situation hasn't seen a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, physiologic jaundice is mild when it appears pale yellow, limited to the face and neck, or may affect the trunk, and the sclera may also turn yellow. It usually disappears after 2 to 3 days, and the skin color returns to normal by the 5th to 6th day. In severe cases, jaundice similarly starts from the head and spreads to the feet, affecting the entire body. The vomit and cerebrospinal fluid may also turn yellow, with the duration lasting more than a week. In some premature infants, it may persist for up to 4 weeks, with the stool still remaining yellow and no bilirubin in the urine.Medical Advice: Hello; if the jaundice persists for 14 days without improvement, it is best to have a blood test to check for elevated direct bilirubin. This is because it could be a sign of a liver or bile duct disease, such as "pathological jaundice." It is recommended that you visit a local hospital for further examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Lifestyle Care: Pay attention to observing the infant's overall condition, such as signs of lethargy, drowsiness, difficulty feeding, restlessness, etc.
