Patient's question:
A male baby is 1 month and 2 days old. Relatives said his face is a bit yellow. We took him to the hospital, and the doctor said that at one month old, it's not noticeable and cannot be determined, so blood tests are needed. They said it can only be determined within 12 days. We tested him at 5 days, and the results were normal. Is it likely to be yellow? If it is yellow and doesn't improve, is it serious? What treatment is needed, and will it affect the child?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, the baby needs to have blood tests first to confirm the diagnosis. It may be liver and gallbladder diseases or hemolytic anemia, etc. If there are no discomforts, drink more water, take probiotics orally, and return to the hospital for follow-up promptly. Regarding the introduction about "the male baby is 1 month and 2 days old and has a slightly yellow face, what should I do," that's all for now. We hope the patient can soon be free from the troubles of the disease and stay healthy every day~~~
