Jaundice in a child in 1 month

anonymously, about a boy, 1 year

Question: Hello! I wanted to ask a question to a specialist - can a yellow baby develop a yellow one? I remember when we gave birth to children, it was all in the maternity hospital, for 2-3 days of life, and now the grandson is a month and, suddenly, the jaundice. Tell me please. We live in the district center ... and we worry immensely, the child was sent to the regional hospital, put under the lamp. Thank. Sincerely, Evdokia.

Hello! You did the right thing to hospitalize the baby. Jaundice can have many causes, the most common is a conflict over blood groups and underdevelopment of the bile ducts. But it can also indicate serious problems with blood formation and abnormal liver function. It is very important to start an early examination to identify the cause, because timely treatment begins to play a very important role.
