Understanding the Symptoms of Neonatal Jaundice

Neonatal jaundice is a common condition characterized by yellowish spots on the body, decreased appetite, and poor mental state. Clinically, the conjunctiva of jaundice patients turns yellow before the mucosa and skin. If jaundice occurs, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention and treatment at the neonatal department of the hospital.

Neonatal jaundice may manifest as drowsiness, lack of strength in breastfeeding or suffocation, and it’s important to be vigilant about the possibility of pathological jaundice.

Full-term infants may experience a recurrence of jaundice between 2-3 days after birth, reaching its peak at 4-5 days and fading away by 5-7 days. Normally, it does not exceed 2 weeks, while premature infants may extend up to 3-4 weeks. It is recommended to conduct a bilirubin index test during the baby’s physiological jaundice period, and hospitalization may be required if the level is below 12.9mg. Bilirubin testing can be performed after breastfeeding to diagnose possible breastfeeding jaundice. Stopping breastfeeding and switching to artificial feeding may be necessary.
