Patient's question:
Recently, my wife gave birth to a son for me, which was originally a very happy thing. However, a few days later, we suddenly found that the baby's jaundice index was very high. Then the doctor required us to undergo blue light treatment and admitted the baby to the hospital. We were very worried. I am a hepatitis B patient and very concerned that it might be due to my condition.What kind of help do I need: Is it necessary for newborns with high jaundice to undergo blue light treatment? Is it related to my hepatitis B?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is considered that the child cannot have hepatitis B. The father having hepatitis B does not interfere with the child. The cause of the child's jaundice is considered to be related to hemolysis, as well as perinatal factors, not related to hepatitis B. It is a common disease in newborns. It is recommended to focus on blue light treatment, as the treatment effect is considered to be quite good. Sincerely wishing you good health. The above is the advice on the question "Should newborn jaundice be treated with blue light?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
