Suggest Treatment For Jaundice In An Infant

Hi my baby has had jaundice from third day to just over a month. She was born very pale like my other daughters. With jaundice she became very yellow starting from nose,then eyes, gums tongue and all over her body. She has fully recovered from jaundice without any phototherapy. But however has gone very dark after her jaundice, although we can see skin is not as dark as early days jaundice. Is she going to get her original skin colour back? And if so how long will it take? She is now two months and looks very different to when she was born. Everyone always asks is it the same baby they saw in the early days after birth :(

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Looks like a case of prolonged jaundice. Need to investigate the child further whether it is conjugated or unconjugated jaundice. Based on this investigation further course of management can be planned. Suggest liver function test, CBP, USG abdomen, thyroid profile, and CRP levels. Further course to be planned based on reports.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sasidharan
