Understand the types and treatment methods of neonatal jaundice.
A 40-day-old baby has black stool, no odor, defecates 7 to 8 times a day, with normal appetite, spirit, and body temperature. Additionally, there is a slight yellowing around the baby’s eyes. Parents inquire whether a stool test is necessary.
The baby is four months old and their facial skin is still a bit yellow, which may be related to neonatal jaundice, liver function, and nutrition.
A newborn began showing jaundice on the third day, but it hadn’t faded by the 36th day. After examination, the total bilirubin level was found to be as high as 305.0umoI/L, with an indirect bilirubin level of 261.7. After hospital treatment, the bilirubin level decreased, but the skin still appeared jaundiced. Possible causes include viral hepatitis, hemolytic disease, congenital genetic metabolic diseases, and more. Further investigation is needed to determine the cause.
A newborn’s entire body turning yellow is often related to jaundice. If jaundice appears immediately after birth, it is usually pathological jaundice. It requires active examination and treatment to avoid affecting the child’s health.
