Patient's question:
I'm so desperate, I'm so desperate. Yesterday was the baby's full moon, so I took them to the hospital for vaccinations, but the jaundice hasn't gone down yet. The jaundice level is 109. As a result, the vaccinations couldn't be administered. They said that with jaundice, vaccinations are not allowed. Sigh, I'm so angry.What kind of help do I need: How do I deal with jaundice that hasn't gone away after a month? Is it serious?
Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice, first consider it to be physiological jaundice. As long as it is not severe, it can usually disappear completely within 2 weeks. If the jaundice is relatively severe or persists without subsiding, it is pathological jaundice and requires hospital treatment if there are no other diseases of the second-order neurons. Pay attention to keeping the newborn warm, feed appropriately in advance, provide sufficient water and energy, and expel meconium early to increase the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin, which can reduce the severity of physiological jaundice.
