Question
The baby started showing jaundice on the third day after birth, which disappeared after a few days. Now, at 26 days old, the baby’s face has turned yellow again, and the whites of the eyes are a bit yellowish. What should I do if a newborn’s jaundice disappears and then reappears? Is it serious?
Answer
According to the description, the baby has been diagnosed with newborn jaundice, but the cause is still unclear. There are many possible causes of jaundice in infants. If jaundice recurs after the initial appearance, it is necessary to consider conditions such as infant hepatitis syndrome and bile duct obstruction. In addition to timely treatment for newborn jaundice, friends of the patient should always maintain a positive attitude towards the disease, as this is the only way to ensure timely symptomatic treatment. It is also important to pay attention to diet and personal care, maintain a balanced diet, and ensure timely digestion of body nutrients, believing that this will definitely drive away newborn jaundice.
