Patient's question:
40 days have passed, and the child's jaundice hasn't subsided. Previously, no medication was taken. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said that phototherapy would not be very effective, so they recommended starting with medication. What should I do? I don't know the reason for the jaundice.Doctor's answer:
The child still needs further and careful examination, as the current jaundice index remains high at 344.7, still in a dangerous state. For example, MRI of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas, as well as the five virus tests should be conducted. The baby currently needs to be given active treatment. It is recommended to be hospitalized for careful examination while receiving blue light therapy. Alternatively, albumin infusion should be administered to prevent the development of bilirubin encephalopathy. The above suggestions are for the question "40 days old, the child's jaundice hasn't subsided," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
