Jaundice is a symptom that every newborn baby will suffer from. For most babies, jaundice is a normal physiological reaction that usually subsides on its own after a certain period of time. However, there are also some babies whose jaundice has not subsided even after two months. So, let's take a look at what to do if the baby still has jaundice at two months old?
A baby who is about two months old still has jaundice. If there is a problem of pediatric jaundice, it is necessary to clarify the cause, such as breast milk jaundice or hemolytic jaundice in children. It is recommended to consider the hospital to measure the jaundice value and further detect the cause of jaundice. It is important to pay attention to exposing the baby to more sunlight in daily life.
Newborns with jaundice are caused by abnormal bilirubin metabolism in the body. Jaundice in children is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. The vast majority of children with jaundice will subside within a month. Currently, if a child has white eyes and yellow skin at two months old, this is abnormal. If breastfed, it should actually be caused by breast milk.
A baby who is about two months old may continue to have jaundice in their body, which may be caused by abnormal bilirubin secretion due to liver and gallbladder diseases. They can go to the hospital for further liver function tests to confirm the specific degree of the disease and adjust it accordingly. Use drugs that regulate liver function to improve the baby's jaundice, and pay attention to the baby's physical changes for targeted treatment.
