What is the standard jaundice value How often does it take for jaundice to appear in newborns

In medicine, the jaundice of the baby before the month (within 28 days of birth) is called neonatal jaundice, the main symptoms are yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes and sclera, the baby's loss of appetite, restlessness and restlessness, and the body temperature may also rise.Neonatal jaundice is a very common disease in newborns, with 60% of full-term babies developing jaundice within the first week of birth, and 80% of babiesprematureJaundice develops within 24 hours of birth.

Neonatal jaundice is mainly caused by the imperfect development of liver function in newborns, abnormal bilirubin metabolism, and increased bilirubin concentration in the blood, which can be divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Experts on neonatal jaundice index standards believe that jaundice is generally divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice, and as long as it exceeds the range of physiological jaundice, it is called pathological jaundice.

1. Physiological jaundice is usually two days after birth, the skin can be seen with the naked eye a little yellow, reaching the peak in 3~5 days, and disappearing in 7~10 days, at this time, the jaundice index (serum bilirubin value) is generally not more than 15mg/dL is within the normal range.

2. Pathological jaundice There are many causes of pathological jaundice, and full-term infants followprematureThe standards are different, and mothers will be sent to the hospital for observation as long as they find the following conditions:

(1) Jaundice is found within 24 hours of birth, which is early-onset jaundice."

(2) The jaundice index rises too high all of a sudden, increasing by more than 5mg/dL a day, which is more common hemolytic jaundice (the blood type of the mother and the baby is incompatible).

(3) The jaundice index rises too high, with 15mg/dL.

(4) The duration is too long, the general physiological jaundice lasts for 7~10 days, if it is more than two weeks, it should be noted.

What to do if the newborn has high jaundiceNewborns will be born with jaundice from 3 to 5 days after birth, which is a normal phenomenon, and the jaundice index should generally not exceed 15mg/dL, which is a normal range and is physiological, so you don't need to be too nervous, but if the jaundice index is high, you can try the following methods.

1. Drink boiled water, you must feed your child 30ML of boiled water every morning and evening, and drink an appropriate amount of water during the day, so that the child can get rid of jaundice in the body as soon as possible. If you are breastfeeding, it is fine, but if you are drinking formula, you should add water.

2. Drink glucose. When the newborn jaundice index is high, give the child some glucose water, add glucose to the water, and feed the child to drink, which is an effective way to get rid of jaundice.

3. Bask in the sun. Every morning around 10 o'clock, when the sun is not very strong, give the child the sun, try to get as much sun as possible to the child's skin, but do not get the eyes.

4. Stop breastfeeding. If none of the above methods work, then stop breastfeeding for two to three days, because the cause of high jaundice may be breast milk, so after stopping breastfeeding, the jaundice index will decrease. If the jaundice index is high for a long time, it may be pathological, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.
