Patient's question:
What is the reason why the child of a mother with type A blood and a father with type O blood has high jaundice? The jaundice level was 207 the next day, and they went for blue light treatment. By the fifth day, the jaundice level increased again, and they went for blue light treatment again. I want to know what is happening?Doctor's answer:
The child's jaundice is relatively high and has nothing to do with the parents' blood type. Jaundice that reappears within the first twenty days after birth in newborns is physiological jaundice and does not require treatment; it will fade on its own. Your child's jaundice is pathological jaundice and requires treatment. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for standardized and professional treatment. Simply using blue light therapy will not have a significant effect. It is advised to seek treatment as soon as possible, as delayed treatment for pathological jaundice can easily lead to long-term complications.
