Patient's question:
My baby is 35 days old. He hasn't been breastfed for three days. His jaundice skin test value is 9.5, and his face has also turned yellow.Doctor's answer:
Regardless of the transcutaneous bilirubin level, if the baby's skin appears yellow under natural light, active treatment is necessary. Currently, the child is not severely ill, so you can expose them to sunlight and stop breastfeeding for three days to see if it improves. Supplement with calcium and wish them good health. The child is affected by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid various misconceptions. Timely and symptomatic treatment is crucial. For parents, it is important to observe the changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
