Patient's question:
The child's face is yellow, I don't know if it's jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is a normal phenomenon and can naturally subside without medication. It usually peaks around the 9th or 10th day of birth and then gradually fades. Some babies may recover within half a month, while others might take up to one or even one and a half months, which is also normal. During this period, you can give the baby some glucose water to protect their liver.If the child is affected by neonatal diseases, parents must take them to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. It is essential to provide symptomatic treatment in a timely manner. For parents, it is important to closely monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely medical care.
