Question
The baby developed skin yellowing and fever symptoms two days after birth and was diagnosed with neonatal jaundice by the doctor, requiring hospitalization. How long does it typically take to treat neonatal jaundice for recovery?
Answer
The duration of treatment for neonatal jaundice varies from case to case, primarily depending on the severity of the jaundice and whether it is accompanied by infection. It is recommended to conduct further checks to determine if the jaundice is caused by infection, especially checking for any signs of umbilical infection. Treatment measures should be tailored to the specific situation and closely monitor the baby’s recovery process. Parents should cooperate with medical staff in providing proper neonatal care.
