Neonatal jaundice is a special headache for many parents, what should I do if my baby has jaundice?

"Jaundice" is a disease caused by abnormal bilirubin metabolism in the blood, if it is within 28 days of the baby's birth, it is called "neonatal jaundice", which is a common neonatal disease. Due to the abnormal metabolism of bilirubin, which exceeds the metabolic capacity of the human body, it causes an increase in the level of bilirubin in the blood, which leads to the yellow staining of the baby**, sclera and other organs, and in severe cases, it will hurt the brain, which is the most common disease in newborns.

Usually newborns develop jaundice on the 2nd to 4th dayThis is because the baby leaves the mother's body and the oxygen supply is sufficient, and the newborn's own liver function is not yet mature. (Too complicated to understand?) It doesn't matter, just remember that jaundice starts to appear in 2-4 days, it is normal) to cause an increase in bilirubin levels in the body, resulting in xanthochromia of **, sclera and other organs, which is the most common clinical problem in newborns.

It can be divided into two categories: physiological and pathological, of which the physiological can basically resolve on its own, and the pathological one needs to be given differently according to different conditions.

It is due to the increased concentration of bilirubin in the blood, and the newborn baby's liver does not metabolize bilirubin enough, which causes the baby's ** to look yellow. Initially, we saw that the baby's face was yellow, and the whites of the eyes were also yellow, that is, the baby had jaundice. The doctor said that this medicine is to reduce jaundice, but to drink a small amount, one drink a day at a time, afraid that the baby will have diarrhea if he drinks too much.

My daughter probably had a day before the jaundice receded.

Depending on the degree, the doctor will recommend that you buy the Yin Chen oral liquid for your child to drink. You can also use artemisia to soak red dates, (boiling water can be) for children to drink, bask in the sun, eyes cover don't bask children's eyes, in severe cases, listen to the doctor's advice physiological jaundice is caused by the characteristics of bilirubin metabolism is a normal development process, physiological jaundice appears 2 3 days after birth, 4 5 days to reach the peak, generally no symptoms, jaundice lasts 7 10 days to subside.

To be examined, to see whether it is physiological jaundice or pathological jaundice, if it is physiological jaundice, it is not necessary to be special, it can resolve on its own, if it is pathological jaundice, it is necessary to be timely **, the right medicine.

Pathological jaundice can be complicated by bilirubin encephalopathy when severe, causing nervous system damage, resulting in serious sequelae such as mental retardation in the baby, so if pathological jaundice is found, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.

The best way to appear in neonatal jaundice is to recheck whether the elevated index of neonatal jaundice is beyond the normal range, and if it is pathological jaundice, it needs to be illuminated with blue light**.

There are many factors that cause jaundice in newborns, which may be related to physiology, breast milk, immature liver function, hemolysis, infection, etc. Neonatal jaundice must be detected early, according to the cause**, you can usually take the fetus to bask in the sun, pay attention to keep warm, and drink more hot water.

Jaundice in newborns is caused by indigestion, so it is important not to rush to feed newborns.

After the child is born, the body's bilirubin metabolism is slowly adapting to the result, because the bilirubin content in the blood increases, so the child's ** will also appear yellowing. Physiological jaundice tends to occur three days after the child is born and gradually disappears within two weeks. There is also pathological jaundice, which occurs at an indefinite time and appears within a day of birth, or a few weeks later, and often lasts quite long, even for two to three weeks without subsiding.

In a timely manner**, irradiate blue light or use other medications**. Parents should pay attention to: 1. Judge the degree of jaundice.

Under natural light, the degree of xanthochromia of newborns is only facial jaundice, which is mild jaundice; Trunk ** yellow, moderate jaundice; Yellow staining of the limbs and hearts of the hands and feet is also severe. 2. Observe the color of the stool. The stool is clay-colored, and pathological jaundice should be considered, mostly caused by congenital biliary malformations, and should be treated in time to avoid delay**.

3. Make the meconium expel as soon as possible.
