Patient's question:
Baby born 13 days ago with ABO hemolytic jaundice was hospitalized for treatment. After a week, discharged with jaundice level 9.5. Three days later, jaundice level 11.6. Is this normal? Why does it fluctuate repeatedly?Doctor's answer:
Is your baby exclusively breastfed? Is the color of the baby's stool golden yellow? Could you send over the detailed test results, such as liver function tests, so I can help you make a preliminary diagnosis? If the baby is exclusively breastfed, it is recommended to temporarily stop breastfeeding. For 3 to 5 days, you can coordinate taking Yinzhihuang and Mimi Ai, which may help reduce jaundice more quickly. Then, you can go back to the hospital for a follow-up check. If the baby is not breastfed, and jaundice reappears with severe symptoms, it is advisable to take the child back to the hospital for further examination. Check for any signs of viral infection.
