Question
At 45 days old, the newborn was informed during vaccination that they still had jaundice. How should this be handled?
Answer
If a newborn still has jaundice at 45 days, it may be pathological jaundice, which could be caused by conditions such as neonatal hemolytic disease, breast milk jaundice, reduced activity of gamma-glutamyltransferase, or delayed excretion of meconium. It is recommended to undergo further checks to determine the cause of the jaundice and follow the doctor’s professional advice for treatment.
