Question
My child was just born and was diagnosed with jaundice. Now it’s been a month, and the jaundice hasn’t gone away. Isn’t it said that it can be eliminated in a few days? What’s going on?
Answer
Hello, if the baby still has jaundice after one month, this situation requires consideration of the causes of pathological jaundice or breastmilk jaundice. If the jaundice is caused by breastfeeding, consider temporarily stopping breastfeeding and observe for a few days to see if there is any improvement. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for further examination to determine the cause of the jaundice. During this observation period, giving the baby an appropriate amount of water can help jaundice subside.
