Patient's question:
The mother of the child is type O blood, I am type A blood, and the child is type A blood. On the sixth day of birth, the jaundice level was measured at 13.4, and on the seventh day, it was 13.6. The child was transferred to the pediatric department, where the jaundice level dropped to 11 after one day of blue light treatment. Chest X-ray and liver function tests showed normal results. However, the child has poor absorption. Can the child be discharged after another full night of blue light treatment in this condition?Doctor's answer:
Your baby's consideration is ideal jaundice, which usually fades within 7-15 days, and some may take up to a month to fade. Your baby is being treated with blue light jaundice, and although it has risen, it tends to fluctuate. It is recommended to focus on treatment for a few days and carefully observe before discharge. It is not advisable to leave immediately after a single night of blue light treatment.The above advice is for the question "The mother is type O blood, and I am type A blood." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
