How to treat jaundice in newborns

Patient's question:

I have a particularly urgent issue right now. During the hospitalization for my newborn's high bilirubin levels, they received three injections of intravenous immunoglobulin. After the newborn was administered intravenous immunoglobulin during the hospital stay, how long will it take before they can receive vaccinations? The newborn is only one month old. Can they receive the BCG vaccine and the hepatitis B vaccine?
Treatment history and effectiveness: I am very anxious and need help urgently. Please help me as soon as possible. The specific help I need: Knowing exactly when they can get vaccinated.

Doctor's answer:

Within 24 hours after birth, a vaccine should be administered at one month, six months, and one year. The BCG vaccine is generally recommended to be administered within 24 hours after birth. Advice: It is possible to get vaccinated, but it should be done when the baby does not have a high fever or chronic diseases. The above advice is for the question "I'm very anxious, please help the doctor quickly," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
