Question
What should I do if my baby has jaundice at 6 days old?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice occurs due to abnormal metabolism of bilirubin, leading to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood and the recurrence of jaundice. It is recommended to follow medical instructions, undergo blue light therapy, or take artichoke extract orally. If the jaundice persists, it is often pathological jaundice and requires treatment. In some cases, a thorough re-examination of the bilirubin index may be necessary.
