There are two types of jaundice in neonates: physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Children with physiological jaundice generally do not show an abnormal somnolence, but some children may show a somnolence because of the special sensitivity of the brain to serum bilirubin. Pathological jaundice may show a somnolence when serum bilirubin concentration is high, especially before showing bilirubin encephalopathy. Therefore, when the child shows a lethargy symptom, it should be highly valued and go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination to prevent bilirubin encephalopathy.
