The difference between neonatal jaundice sleepiness and normal sleep

The difference between neonatal jaundice sleepiness and normal sleep:

The differences between neonatal jaundice sleepiness and normal sleep generally include sleep time, accompanying symptoms, and treatment methods.

1. Sleep time: The sleepiness time is longer, and normal sleep is generally 6 to 8 hours.

2. Associated symptoms: usually accompanied by yellowing of the skin and sclera, mental disorder, refusal to feed, abnormal urine color, body convulsions, etc. Normal sleep is usually not accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, and the spirit is better after waking up.

3. Treatment: If it is physiological jaundice, generally no special treatment is needed. It can naturally subside by strengthening feeding and eating more and excreting more. But if it is pathological jaundice, phototherapy should be carried out in time under the guidance of a doctor. But if you sleep normally, you usually do not need to take any treatment measures.

It is recommended that if a newborn sleeps for a long time and is accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, he or she should seek medical attention as soon as possible, find out the cause, and then take effective treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor.
