Neonatal jaundice symptoms?
Light yellow, limited to the face and neck, or affected the trunk, sclera can also be yellow, but generally elbow and knee, 2-3 days later subsided, to 5-6 days skin color returned to normal; In severe cases, jaundice can also spread all over the body, vomit and cerebrospinal fluid can also be stained yellow for more than one week, especially in individual premature infants, which can last up to four weeks, and their feces are still yellow, and there is no bilirubin in urine; But as long as the milk is good, the spirit is normal, the urine and stool are normal, and the jaundice gradually fades, it belongs to the scope of physiological jaundice, and there is no need to panic;
If jaundice occurs 24 hours after birth, and does not subside after 2-3 weeks, or even continues to deepen, aggravate or subside, and then appears repeatedly, or jaundice begins to appear within a week to several weeks after birth, it is pathological jaundice, which should be paid attention to by parents and treated in time. There is no jaundice at birth. Jaundice occurs in 1-2 weeks or longer after birth. The progressive jaundice deepens and the milk is still good. For example, the stool is still light yellow on the first few days, but with the deepening of jaundice, the stool gradually turns white and looks like clay. This is a kind of obstructive jaundice, which should be treated in time;
Pathological jaundice appears earlier, generally in the neonatal birth 24 hours or so, the degree is relatively heavy, the duration is relatively long, more than 2-4 weeks, the situation continues to be serious. Physiological jaundice, full-term newborns generally appear in 2-3 days after birth, 4-5 days when the peak, the degree of jaundice varies, the order of jaundice is the first from the sclera, face, neck, and then spread to the trunk and limbs. Newborns generally have no symptoms.
matters needing attention
Mothers should always pay attention to the skin and mental status of the newborn, if found abnormal should be timely to the newborn treatment. In the early stage, we should feed the newborn as soon as possible, so that the feces can be excreted as soon as possible, because the feces contain a lot of bile flavins. Another point is to give the newborn adequate water. The way to judge whether the newborn's liquid intake is adequate is to look at the newborn's urine. Generally, a normal newborn has 6-8 times of urine a day. If the frequency is insufficient, his liquid intake may not be enough, and too little urine is not conducive to the excretion of bilirubin.
