Questions

  1. Will the baby recover after treatment?
  2. How many days will it take for the baby to recover?
  3. If the mother is not O-negative blood type, what could be the cause of the baby’s jaundice?

Answers

  1. The baby’s neonatal jaundice can be fully recovered after treatment with blue light therapy and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication.
  2. Physiological jaundice usually appears within 2-3 days after birth, peaks at 5-7 days, and returns to normal around 7-10 days.
  3. Since the baby does not have hemolytic disease and the mother is B-negative blood type instead of O-negative, possible causes of jaundice may include breast milk jaundice or indigestion. Recovery is possible through blue light therapy and symptomatic treatment with Chang Le Kang probiotics and Yin Chen Huang.
