Question
How to handle hyperbilirubinemia in newborns?
Answer
Newborn jaundice is categorized into physiological and pathological types. For physiological jaundice, full-term infants usually recover within 7 to 14 days after birth, while premature infants may take up to 2 to 3 weeks. In some cases, blue light therapy may be required. It is recommended to have regular check-ups and seek medical treatment promptly to avoid deterioration of the condition. At the same time, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and cooperate with the doctor’s treatment plan to help the child recover health as soon as possible.
