Question
How to distinguish newborn jaundice?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, it is possible that the baby’s jaundice could be related to an infection? The classification of jaundice requires a comprehensive evaluation, considering whether the baby is premature or full-term, the early or late recurrence of jaundice, how soon it appears again within 24 hours, and the mental state, etc. Generally speaking, the peak of 5-day-old baby jaundice is reached, and after undergoing anti-inflammatory and blue light interference treatments, the jaundice may increase. In fact, having newborn jaundice is not horrible at all; patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as timely treatment is sought in the early stages, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovery are very high.
