Patient's question:
The baby only came for jaundice testing at 3:30 PM today, 48 hours after birth. The average value is 254. Do we need to go for blue light treatment? Yesterday it was 164, which increased by 90. I am type A blood.Doctor's answer:
A newborn has developed jaundice again, and the jaundice level is progressively decreasing, suggesting the possibility of pathological jaundice. In this case, it is recommended to seek follow-up care in the neonatal department, where hospitalization for close observation and treatment is necessary, including blue light therapy. During the treatment period, regular follow-up tests should be conducted to monitor the jaundice index.The above advice is in response to the question "My baby was only tested for jaundice at 48 hours this afternoon at 3:30 PM, and the average value was 254." It is hoped that this information will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
