What is the danger period for neonatal jaundice?

1. The dangerous period of neonatal jaundice is about 10 days. If the newborn is a premature baby and has jaundice symptoms, it usually lasts about 21 days.

2. Neonatal jaundice is caused by excessive bilirubin production, bile excretion disorders, and liver bilirubin metabolism disorders. Children usually have symptoms such as yellowing of the skin, sclera, and mucous membranes. Neonatal jaundice is generally divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice generally subsides about 10 days after the birth of the newborn. If the newborn is a premature baby, it usually lasts longer and takes about 21 days to gradually subside. During this period, the child's jaundice symptoms will gradually ease, his mental state will recover, and feeding, sleeping, and urination will become good. If the jaundice symptoms still exceed this period, it may be caused by pathological jaundice. Children usually have symptoms such as poor mental state, drowsiness, and convulsions, and need timely treatment.

3. During the illness, parents should let their children drink more water to promote body circulation, enhance body metabolism, and help symptoms subside.
