Does neonatal jaundice matter and when does it need treatment?

It doesn't matter. It is a normal physiological phenomenon of newborns. However, neonatal pathological jaundice, jaundice appears early, severe, and lasts for a long time.

Neonatal jaundice is relatively common and usually disappears in 5-7 days. If jaundice appears within 24 hours of birth and lasts too long, it is required.

Neonatal jaundice requires intervention. It is divided into physiological and pathological. If the physiological and pathological symptoms are mild, they should be exposed to the sun. If the jaundice value is exceeded, or if the jaundice does not go away for a long time, you need to see a doctor.

Under normal circumstances, the newborn begins to appear jaundice 2-3 days after birth, the most obvious in 4-5 days, and naturally resolves in 7-14 days, and the general condition is good, which is caused by the characteristics of bilirubin metabolism in the newborn, so that the accumulation of bilirubin in the serum is not conjugated and jaundice occurs.

Pathological jaundice generally refers to jaundice that appears too early, is too severe, resolves late, recurs or worsens, the serum bilirubin concentration is exceeded, the jaundice persists for more than 2 weeks, and the premature infant is more than 4 weeks.

Jaundice is a common symptom in life, if you ignore the reasonable**, it may cause other complications, and even affect the healthy growth of the baby, you should go to the hospital in time for examination, according to the situation for reasonable**. If it is physiological jaundice, it can be relieved in about 1 week. However, pathological jaundice is relatively long, and it is very harmful to the baby's health, let's take a look at what are the ** of baby jaundice.

1. Breast milk causes) Breast milk jaundice is a phenomenon caused by breastfeeding, once breastfeeding is stopped, wait until the jaundice index drops significantly before continuing to breastfeed, which can effectively avoid the serious discomfort caused by jaundice. 2. Pathological jaundice: due to the appearance of embryonic dysplasia or hepatobiliary disease, pathological jaundice may be caused, due to factors such as liver virus infection, biliary obstruction, adverse medication during pregnancy, etc., resulting in decreased immunity, destruction of red blood cells, and excessive bilirubin raw materials in the body can cause different degrees of pathological jaundice 3. Physiological factors:

There are many factors that predispose to physiological jaundice. This is because in general, there are a lot of red blood cells in the blood. These red blood cells are short-lived, easily destroyed by external factors, bilirubin increases significantly, and the infant has physiological jaundice.

Another reason is that the liver function is insufficient, which should be adjusted in time, and the symptoms will be reduced after a certain period of ** care.

Neonatal jaundice occurs in about 60% of full-term neonates and 80% of preterm infants, which is related to the metabolic characteristics of neonatal bilirubin. Jaundice usually develops 2 to 3 days after birth in term infants, peaks in 4 to 6 days, and usually resolves spontaneously in 7 to 14 days, with preterm infants lasting longer. It is mainly because of the short lifespan of red blood cells, the excess of hemoglobin in newborns, and the incomplete ability of the liver to metabolize bilirubin, which is also related to the intestinal and hepatic circulation of bilirubin.

For physiologic jaundice, no special treatment is required. Please give your child hot water, breastfeed, and keep warm when yellow. Neonatal jaundice is severe, early in appearance, long in duration, or rises rapidly, and is mainly based on elevated bilirubin, which is pathological jaundice, and should be treated in the pediatric department of the hospital to clarify the cause of pathological jaundice and carry out **.

This is due to the fact that the production of bilirubin in the newborn has exceeded its own processing and excretion rate, so it will lead to jaundice due to aggregation in the body.

Baby jaundice is hemolytic jaundice caused by abnormal bilirubin metabolism in the body, which causes bilirubin to rise faster than the body can handle.

Some neonatal jaundice is pathological, some are physiological, if it is physiological, there is no need to worry, it will slowly subside over time, if it is pathological, you must go to the hospital**; Some parents don't care about whether it's pathological or physiological, they let their children go home, regardless of whether it's pathological, whether the child will make the child's condition worse, if it's serious, it will be life-threatening, and some think that jaundice can be removed by taking more baths, which is a wrong idea.

Newborns have more bilirubin in their bodies, and too much oxygen is inhaled in the womb, and the newborn's system development is not sound and cannot excrete bilirubin from the body, so jaundice will appear. Don't go to the hospital and go through the professional ** just by the eyes. I feel that jaundice is not harmful to the body, let the child bask in the sun more, give the child more glucose or sugar, and give the child **jaundice through home remedies This is all a misunderstanding.

This is due to genetic reasons, and it may also be caused by low oxygen levels in the stomach; **The misconception is to ignore or drink glucose water, often bask in the sun, take blue light at home, and give probiotics to the baby, which are all wrong, and may lead to more serious jaundice.

Because this problem is very serious, it may damage the baby's body, may affect the baby's metabolism, will also affect the baby's immunity, and may affect the baby's heart.

You know, you must pay attention to the application of ointment, which is good for the child's development and prevents the child's condition from becoming more serious and affecting the child's health.

Because if you don't **, it will be very dangerous, and the baby will get jaundice, which is also a more serious problem.
