Patient's question:
Newborn's jaundice level was 17 on the third day. Due to hemolytic jaundice, the baby was hospitalized for six days, receiving albumin transfusions and blue light therapy. After six days, the baby was discharged with a jaundice level of 12. At home, after being exposed to sunlight for two days, the jaundice level increased to 15. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
On the third day of the newborn's birth, the jaundice level was 17, indicating hemolytic jaundice. After six days of treatment, the baby was discharged with a jaundice level of 12. At home, the baby was given Yinzhihuang and exposed to sunlight. Two days later, the jaundice level rose to 15. If it does not continue to rise, you can focus on Yinzhihuang and sunlight, and carefully monitor the situation. If it continues to rise sharply, you will need to return to the hospital for blue light treatment.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if the newborn's jaundice level is 17 on the second day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
