Question
Baby boy, will neonatal physiological jaundice affect intelligence? The blood test shows it’s physiological! But, it’s almost 50 days old and hasn’t gone away yet.
Answer
If the child has physiological jaundice and the jaundice level is not particularly high, it generally will not affect the child. It is recommended that you check, as it has already been 50 days and physiological jaundice is no longer considered, as it usually completely fades around the 10th day. In addition to timely treatment of neonatal jaundice, patients should always maintain a positive attitude towards facing the disease, as this can significantly improve patients’ immunity and their belief in combating diseases. At the same time, they should pay more attention to their own diet and care, with a focus on light and easy-to-digest foods, avoiding spicy or cold foods, believing that this can drive away neonatal jaundice.
