Question
The newborn has developed jaundice for 30 days, but it has not subsided, and the symptoms fluctuate after taking medication. How should we deal with this situation?
Answer
Hello. Newborn jaundice that persists for 30 days is considered pathological jaundice. It is recommended to bring the baby to the hospital for a bilirubin level test and actively undergo blue light therapy treatment. If the baby is being breastfed, it is suggested to reduce the amount of breast milk and switch to formula primarily, as breastmilk jaundice is more likely. You can try feeding with formula to observe the situation, and wish the baby a healthy growth!
