Patient's question:
Baby tested with jaundice level of 10.1 on the third day at the hospital. At noon on the third day, the level was 9.7, and the doctor allowed discharge. Today is the fourth day, and the baby's lower eyelids and eyes look more yellow than when in the hospital. What should be done in this situation?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, the baby's jaundice index at discharge was within the physiological jaundice range. Now it seems that the baby's jaundice is improving. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a follow-up check of the jaundice index. If the jaundice index still falls within the physiological range, focus on careful observation. If it is below the physiological jaundice level, consider oral medication or blue light therapy. The above advice is for the question "Baby tested with a jaundice value of 10 on the third day in the hospital." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
