Patient's question:
My daughter, born via cesarean section, full-term, had a bilirubin level of 277 on the sixth day of her birth. The doctor recommended phototherapy.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the situation you mentioned is generally considered normal if the newborn's jaundice level is below 12. Your condition 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 may extend to the 3rd-4th week. It is recommended to cooperate with the doctor's treatment and not to use medication arbitrarily. Hope this helps.
