Infant head hematoma causes jaundice

Many newborns are particularly prone to jaundice after birth, but jaundice is generally caused by hematoma in the baby's head. In fact, this is a relatively normal physiological phenomenon. After two weeks, this psychological phenomenon will disappear on its own. This phenomenon is closely related to pregnant women who often eat sweets during pregnancy. So what should we do if the baby's head hematoma causes high jaundice?

Neonatal jaundice is a physiological process that usually appears 2-3 days after birth, reaches a peak at 4-5 days, and disappears within 2 weeks (usually within 4 weeks for premature infants). The main reason is excessive production of bilirubin, which exceeds the liver's ability to process it. Some babies have pathological jaundice, which may be caused by infection, hemolysis, etc.

If the child is diagnosed with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia due to cephalohematoma. A cephalohematoma may not completely subside until six weeks after birth. The process of blood absorption can worsen jaundice. If you insist on being discharged from the hospital, you should continue to take oral anti-jaundice medication after discharge. At the same time, you should go to the hospital every 2 to 3 days for transcutaneous bilirubin measurement.

The impact of scalp hematoma and baby jaundice should not be too great. The current low jaundice in the baby is likely due to the blue light exposure. The possibility of increased jaundice after discharge is still relatively high. It is best for you to stop blue light exposure and observe for 2-3 days to see if the jaundice index will rise again. If it does not rise, you can consider discharge.

Scalp hematoma will aggravate jaundice, but as long as the jaundice is treated regularly or subsides, it will generally not rebound due to the hematoma. Scalp hematomas usually do not require treatment. Scalp hematoma does not require treatment and can be absorbed by itself, but it just takes time. And as long as the jaundice subsides, there will be no rebound due to hematoma.
