Knock on the blackboard to draw the key points!
jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice . For children with physiological jaundice, the general state is better. The jaundice lasts less than two weeks, and the jaundice will disappear naturally.
Physiological jaundice will appear 2~3 days after birth. Generally, it will not cause a big impact on the baby. Most of it will gradually disappear in 7~10 days, so no treatment is required. However, if jaundice appears prematurely, or if the degree of jaundice is high, bilirubin passes through the blood-brain barrier, it may cause infant bilirubin encephalopathy, causing infants’ appetite decline, poor response, mental retardation, increased muscle tone of the limbs, Symptoms of the nervous system such as reflex horns. It is necessary to actively give treatments such as phototherapy.
Some babies will also develop breast milk jaundice, which usually does not require treatment, and the jaundice can go away by itself after stopping breast milk. If the child has jaundice, and the jaundice lasts for a long time, parents must pay attention to it, and must go to the hospital to consult a professional doctor for evaluation to avoid delay in treatment.
