Birth infant on the fourth day jaundice 12.0 normal or not

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I have been very concerned about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Please ask if jaundice level of 12.0 on the fourth day of birth is normal.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be pathological jaundice. Pathological jaundice is usually seen in liver function damage, hemolytic reactions, or biliary atresia. Before treatment, it is necessary to identify the cause before proceeding with treatment. Hello, it is more likely that you have a cold or indigestion. If there are signs of dehydration, it is best to receive intravenous fluids for anti-inflammatory treatment, combined with anti-diarrheal medication. Additionally, consider taking Lactobacillus tablets, Smecta, and Dinggui'er Qipie for treatment. Wishing you good health!
