We parents all know that the baby's liver can secrete bile that helps digestion. If you have hepatitis, you will have symptoms similar to neonatal physiological jaundice. From the second week after the baby is born, jaundice will appear, but this situation is more serious than neonatal physiological jaundice. Bile stays in bile duct or liver, and bilirubin in blood increases rapidly. Therefore, the symptoms of jaundice will get stronger and stronger and will not subside within 2-3 months. And because bile does not appear in the intestine, the stool is mostly white. If not treated quickly, the baby's liver will be greatly damaged, and even cirrhosis may occur.
