Question
My baby is one week old and the jaundice has not subsided. What is the cause?
Answer
If the jaundice persists for a long time, it may be pathological jaundice. It is advisable to seek medical attention promptly, be hospitalized for observation, and undergo blue light therapy. Additionally, it is important to monitor the baby’s sleep and feeding conditions, enhance nutrition, and eat small meals frequently. Failure to address this promptly may affect the baby’s growth and liver function.
