Patient's question:
The baby is one month old, and besides jaundice, the two hospitals had different opinions. One hospital said it was pathological jaundice and recommended immediate hospitalization, while the other said it was breast milk jaundice, with an average jaundice level of 12. Then, without stopping breastfeeding, sun exposure, and medication, the jaundice level dropped by 2. Is this considered breast milk jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Simply speaking, the numbers are almost beyond the diagnostic indicators for pathological jaundice. Is the child currently exclusively breastfed? If the child is currently exclusively breastfed, do not exclude the possibility of breast milk jaundice. You can stop for two days to see if the jaundice decreases. If it does not decrease, it is recommended to actively follow up for a clear diagnosis and address the symptoms accordingly. The above advice is for the question "Baby is one month old, except for jaundice, two hospitals have different opinions." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
