Patient's question:
Baby is four days old, bilirubin level measured on the skin is 268. After staying in the hospital for four days under blue light treatment, the skin bilirubin level measured is 136, and the blood bilirubin level tested is 104. All necessary tests have been conducted. A small virus value is 0.99, and the doctor says it should be below 0.9 for it to be normal. Treatment cannot be administered, and it is necessary for the child's own antibodies to gradually decrease. Other tests are all normal. Can I take the child home now? Do I need to undergo another round of blue light treatment?Doctor's answer:
Stop and observe under blue light treatment, at least for 24 to 48 hours. If the bilirubin levels do not fluctuate, discharge can be arranged. It is recommended to take probiotic drugs orally, such as Triphala (Bifidobacterium), half a bag at a time, three times a day, with warm water. This is the complete introduction for "What to do if a baby's skin test shows bilirubin 268 on the fourth day of birth." Finally, wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
