Patient's question:
Born 2 days later, it was found that the bilirubin was high and there was a hematoma on the head. The mother is type O blood, and the father is AB type. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
From your description, the child's blood type is either A or B. Since the jaundice became (obvious) two days after birth, it should be considered as jaundice caused by ABO incompatibility hemolysis. The subcutaneous hematoma on the head may also contribute to the (obvious) jaundice when it resolves.1. Active treatment. Early blue light therapy should be administered to reduce jaundice.
2. Administer immunoglobulin to block antibodies.
3. Splinting therapy may be necessary if needed.
It is recommended to follow the advice of local medical professionals for proper management.
