Patient's question:
My daughter, born via C-section, full-term, had a bilirubin level of 277 six days after birth. The doctor recommended phototherapy.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, the condition you mentioned is generally considered normal if the newborn's jaundice level is below 12. Your situation may be pathological jaundice. It is recommended to be hospitalized for treatment.Advice: Hello, it is suggested to use blue light therapy, which has minimal impact on the baby. Physiological jaundice usually appears 2-3 days after birth. The peak occurs between the 5th and 7th day, and it typically resolves between 10-14 days. For premature infants, the delay in resolution extends to the 3rd-4th week. It is recommended to cooperate with your doctor's treatment and avoid taking medication arbitrarily. Hope this helps.
