Patient's question:
Newborn jaundice baby was born on the 4th, I was discharged on the 6th, and the jaundice levels were normal in the hospital. On the 8th, when getting the heel blood test, the jaundice levels were measured as 19.7 (skin test) and 17.5 (blood test). Then, the baby was put under blue light treatment in the hospital. Today is the 12th, and the jaundice level has dropped to 9. Is this value normal? During a thorough check-up on the 8th, there was a hemolysis issue. I have Type O blood, while the baby has Type A blood. The hemoglobin level was 121. Did the baby receive immune globulin during the blue light treatment in the hospital? Can I be discharged today? The hospital keeps saying the jaundice levels are high and asks me to stay for a few more days. But I haven’t seen the baby in a long time, and the daily cost is over a thousand or two thousand yuan, which is putting a lot of financial strain on me.Doctor's answer:
Usually, a baby's jaundice will fade after the full moon. Many cases of physiological jaundice may reappear. Generally, it does not exceed 15, and medication treatment is not required. During treatment, the baby may experience mild nausea and vomiting but will remain normal. The baby will be normal by 9:00 or so.The above is advice on the question "What should I do about my baby's jaundice?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
