Patient's question:
Please ask the expert, my child was born less than five days ago and has a yellow complexion. Yesterday, the bilirubin level was 238, and today it was 245. I would like to ask the expert what my child should do. The child is eating normally because the breast milk is not enough, so formula milk is also being given.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Clinically, neonatal jaundice is divided into two types: physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice usually appears 24 hours after birth, and the duration of jaundice does not exceed 4 weeks. Advice: If jaundice recedes and then reappears, it should be noted. In pathological jaundice, the serum conjugated bilirubin level exceeds 34 micromoles per liter, and hospitalization is recommended for examination.
