Patient's question:
Newborn jaundice level 15-11, is the jaundice severe, does it require blue light treatment, and are there any hazards from blue light treatment. The doctor prescribed Juncica Yellow Oral Liquid, 1/3 bottle, is it for the child or the mother to take? Now she has diarrhea after taking it.Doctor's answer:
In medicine, jaundice in newborns under the age of one month (within 28 days of birth) is referred to as neonatal jaundice. The highest level of bilirubin in umbilical cord blood of normal newborns is approximately 51.3 μmol/L (3 mg/dL) at birth, and it drops to less than 171–205 μmol/L (10–12 mg/dL) four days after birth. For premature infants, it is less than 256.5 μmol/L (15 mg/dL).1. Physiological jaundice: This refers to temporary jaundice caused solely by the characteristics of bilirubin decomposition and metabolism. It reappears 2–3 days after birth, peaks between 4–6 days, and fades away between 7–10 days. The duration is longer in premature infants.
