Question
How should one deal with high bilirubin jaundice in infants?
Answer
Hello! It’s normal for newborns to have physiological jaundice for about a month after birth, but each baby’s situation may vary. An increase in bilirubin can cause the skin and whites of the eyes to turn yellow. Generally, if the bilirubin is only in the blood and for a short period of time, it has little impact on the child. Doctors will consider whether it is pathological jaundice or physiological jaundice and perform corresponding liver function tests to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the test results, further exclusion of other diseases may be necessary. We hope you will follow your doctor’s advice!
