Question
My newborn has been experiencing jaundice since the third day after birth, 15 days after delivery, and it has not subsided yet. The face, conjunctiva, and gums are yellowish, while the body is not obvious yellow. The stool is yellow, and the frequency and color of urine are normal. Is the newborn’s jaundice serious?
Answer
Based on the described situation, it is first necessary to consider the possibility of pathological jaundice. In clinical treatment, anti-infection therapy should be considered first, and digestive enzyme drugs can be taken in conjunction. The treatment for neonatal jaundice is not easy, and parents should maintain a positive attitude, strengthen their confidence in combating the disease, and believe that with appropriate treatment, the newborn can recover.
