Patient's question:
The baby just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask how long it takes for neonatal jaundice to subside when the level is between 15 and 16.7.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is related to physiological jaundice. You can take the traditional Chinese medicine Yin Zhi Huang oral liquid to regulate it. Blue light treatment can also be used. Careful nursing and meticulous attention should be paid to a diet that is easy to digest and absorb.If both parents of the newborn do not have hepatitis B, the newborn should be given a dose of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine as soon as possible after birth through intramuscular injection. The injection site is the deltoid muscle of the upper arm (the same for children and adults). One month later, another dose should be administered, and then one more dose six months later. In total, this is a three-dose regimen known as the 0, 1, 6 schedule.
Currently, all newborns undergo planned immunization, and vaccination is free. Hepatitis B vaccine is administered immediately after birth, which can basically ensure that the child will not contract hepatitis B in the future.
For children, it is generally required to undergo an antibody test (the "two pairs and a half" test) before entering a childcare center to check for antibodies. If no antibodies are present, an additional booster dose should be administered.
