Question
Why does newborn jaundice persist and not heal after hospital treatment?
Answer
Most newborn jaundice does not require treatment, and increased fluid intake can accelerate the yellowing. For severe symptoms, phototherapy can be used. If bilirubin levels continue to rise, blood transfusion therapy may be necessary. If newborn jaundice persists and recurrently appears, and hemolytic jaundice and breast milk jaundice are ruled out, consider checking the five prenatal items, especially the cytomegalovirus antibody, and undergo a liver and gallbladder Doppler ultrasound examination.
