Patient's question:
A newborn baby is 4 days old. Yesterday, a (jaundice detector) check showed that everything was basically normal. This morning, the check indicated a slight yellow tint, so they were advised to go to the neonatal department for a blood test. The results are as follows. Could any doctor please help explain this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description and the test results, the baby has a bacterial infection. The baby's indirect bilirubin level is high. It is recommended to give the baby cefixime for antiviral treatment. The jaundice condition should be closely monitored, and if there is rapid improvement, blue light treatment may be needed. The above suggestions are for the question "Infant born 4 days ago, yesterday's jaundice test results were basically normal." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
