Question
Does he whimper even when he’s not sleeping?
Answer
In such cases, it is recommended to conduct a trace element test to check for neonatal jaundice. Firstly, consider whether it is physiological jaundice, which usually disappears within two weeks. You can take measures to keep the baby warm, feed them early to ensure they receive enough water and heat, and facilitate early bowel movements, which can alleviate the severity of jaundice. If the jaundice is severe or persistent, it may be pathological jaundice and requires hospitalization. Additionally, the baby’s body can be examined for other abnormal symptoms. Whimpering alone cannot diagnose a specific disease; further examination is needed to determine the treatment plan.
