Question
On April 15th, a newborn was found to have a yellowish appearance all over the body, with four white pus blisters. Subsequent hospital consultation revealed that the number of blisters continued to grow, and the baby was diagnosed with severe hemolytic jaundice and is currently receiving treatment at Panzhihua Hospital.
Answer
Your situation may be physiological jaundice. Mild physiological jaundice is usually a pale yellow color, confined to the face and neck, or extending to the trunk, with conjunctival yellowing that subsides within 2 to 3 days, returning to normal skin color by the 5th to 6th day; severe jaundice can also spread from the head to the feet, affecting the entire body, with vomiting and cerebrospinal fluid also becoming yellowed for a period of more than one week. Particularly in some premature infants, it may persist for up to 4 weeks, with stool still yellowish and urine free of bilirubin. Blue light therapy is recommended and has certain effects.
