Patient's question:
The doctor, my baby is 25 days old today. On the third day of birth, jaundice reappeared. By the sixth day, the jaundice level rose to 14. We stayed in the hospital for 5 days under blue light treatment, and the jaundice level dropped, so we took him home. At 20 days, we went back to the hospital for a follow-up check, and the jaundice level rose again to 15. We started blue light treatment again, which lasted for 5 days. Today, the jaundice level is 11. The doctor said it didn't drop significantly. Since birth, we haven't noticed any abnormalities in the child. He drinks milk every two and a half hours, with 60ml per feeding, and he doesn't cry or fuss. At home, his stools are yellow curdled milk, and the nurses at the hospital said it's normal. The doctor, is my child's jaundice caused by biliary obstruction or hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if it is biliary atresia, it can be seen in the color Doppler ultrasound. Generally, the color of the stool is clay-colored. Now the baby's stool is yellow, because the baby is hospitalized for treatment, the doctor will conduct a thorough examination of the cause of jaundice and may need to perform several viral tests to determine if it is a viral infection. The above is the advice for the question "Doctor, my baby is 25 days old today," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
