Question

A 56-day-old newborn, born 26 days premature, has developed conjunctival jaundice. Is this normal?

Answer

Based on the description, the baby has developed conjunctival jaundice, which may indicate a high bilirubin level. It is recommended to conduct a blood test to check the bilirubin level and consider performing a cranial MRI to rule out potential brain damage. Measures should be taken early on to lower the jaundice level.
