Question
The newborn’s face and urine have shown signs of jaundice again, although they have been treated and improved at 251 Hospital. However, the condition recurred three days later. Ask about the previous treatment and effects, and hope to understand the cause and obtain further treatment advice.
Answer
The doctor inquired if there were any signs of jaundice on other parts of the body besides the face. It was pointed out that neonates may develop physiological jaundice within 2 to 3 days after birth, which usually disappears on its own within 5 to 7 days. However, if jaundice recurs and worsens, it may be pathological jaundice, requiring timely medical attention. Treatment methods may include phototherapy or dispersal of meridians. It is recommended to further understand the detailed situation of the child’s jaundice and seek professional medical advice.
