Patient's question:
The child has been born for 4 days. The first 2 days, the skin was fine. After 2 days, the face turned yellow. And when checked carefully, the bilirubin level exceeded 280. Is there any danger to the child?Treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help is desired: How can the condition be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Physiological jaundice After birth, many newborns' skin will turn yellow again 2-3 days after birth. By the seventh day, the yellowing is most noticeable, which is called physiological jaundice in newborns. Newborn jaundice is usually mild. If the baby is in good spirits and feeding normally, this is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require treatment. It usually fades on its own within 8-10 days. The above is advice on the question "Infant bilirubin level is high and exceeds 280." I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
