Patient's question:
On the third day at the hospital, the baby's jaundice level was tested at 10.1. At noon on the third day, it was measured at 9.7, and the doctor allowed us to discharge. Today is the fourth day, and the baby's lower eyelids and eyes look much yellower than when they were at the hospital. What should we do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, the baby's jaundice index at discharge was within the physiological jaundice range. Now it seems that the baby's jaundice is subsiding. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a follow-up check of the jaundice index. If the jaundice index remains within the physiological range, focus on careful observation. If it is below the physiological jaundice level, consider oral medication or blue light therapy. The above is the advice for the question "Baby's jaundice value tested at 10 on the third day in the hospital." I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
