Patient's question:
My baby is 47 days old, and the jaundice is very severe with a total bilirubin of 227.59, direct bilirubin of 21.8, and indirect bilirubin of 205.79. The jaundice started when the baby was 6-7 days old and has not subsided yet after 47 days. When checked at the hospital, the total bilirubin was 227.59, direct bilirubin 21.8, and indirect bilirubin 205.79. They recommended hospitalization for observation, but we didn’t stay and started taking Yin Zhi Huang oral liquid. I want to know how to make the baby’s jaundice subside faster.Doctor's answer:
Jaundice is just a surface phenomenon, and there are underlying causes behind it. Many of the reasons require a hospital system for a thorough examination to be identified. Total bilirubin is 227.59, direct bilirubin is 21.8, and indirect bilirubin is 205.79. This may be hemolytic jaundice. Currently, the bilirubin level is quite high, and it is recommended to be hospitalized for treatment promptly. This is the only way to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment for a complete recovery. Do not hesitate or delay, and wish you a speedy recovery!
