Patient's question:
My child was born just 11 days ago. On the third day, the jaundice level was 16.5. We are under blue light treatment now, and it's already past 10 o'clock. Today, we were discharged from the hospital. Since coming home, the baby has been sleeping all the time without crying, and even falls asleep while feeding. What could be the reason for this? Is there any problem with the child?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation described, it is recommended to pay close attention and carefully observe. Check to see if the child has any other abnormal symptoms. If not, pay attention to giving the child more water daily to promote jaundice metabolism. Careful observation is sufficient. Under normal circumstances, the child is almost always in a deep sleep state, except for urination and feeding. If any abnormal or uncomfortable symptoms are noticed, take the child to the hospital for a check-up. Pay attention to giving the child more water appropriately each day to promote jaundice metabolism.
