Patient's question:
Born two or three days later, it was found that the skin was yellow. The doctor said it was high jaundice. When discharged after three days, it was 16.9. Medication was prescribed to be taken at home. Now, five days have passed, and there has been no improvement. The current test result is over 20. The doctor said it is because the mother is type O blood, the baby is type B, and also because the baby is breastfed and hasn't seen the sun. Currently, it is at the Yiyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it is considered to be a manifestation of pathological jaundice, and it is possible to be hospitalized for observation and treatment. It can be treated with medication, so there is no need to worry. Please pay attention to monitoring. The child is affected by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate its symptoms. For parents, it is important to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
