Patient's question:
Patient Age: Twenty-eight daysCondition Description: Jaundice appeared three days after birth and has not completely subsided after twenty-eight days.
Medical History and Treatment Effects: The doctor recommended phototherapy, but due to various reasons, it was not administered.
Desired Help: May I receive vaccinations on the day of the full moon?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Under normal circumstances, it is acceptable to administer vaccinations to babies when their levels are below 7, but the requirements may vary among different vaccination centers. The normal range for neonatal jaundice is based on the reference index of serum bilirubin. For full-term infants, it should not exceed 204 μmol/L (12 mg/dL), and for premature infants, it should not exceed 255 μmol/L (15 mg/dL).Children with physiological jaundice, in addition to yellowing of the skin, generally show no significant impact on appetite or mental state, and the symptoms usually resolve on their own within one month. If a baby has jaundice, it is recommended to expose them to sunlight frequently to promote metabolism. Feeding the baby as needed is advised to help them excrete more urine and thus reduce jaundice. Additionally, probiotics can be given to aid in the resolution of jaundice.
