Patient's question:
A baby born via cesarean section at 5 days old has jaundice at 20. The mother's blood type is AB, and the father's is O. The baby is exclusively breastfed. The baby can eat and sleep, but is slightly yellow, with no other abnormalities. I want to know how serious the problem is. I'm very worried!Doctor's answer:
According to the condition you described, the child's jaundice is not caused by hemolysis, but with a jaundice level of 20, treatment should be administered. The child is doing well with feeding and napping, and is being breastfed. It may be breast milk jaundice. The high jaundice level can cause damage to brain cells, so it is best to go to the hospital for blue light treatment. In addition to immediate treatment, patients who have undergone cesarean section also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
