Patient's question:
My baby was recently carefully checked and found to have jaundice. Now we are undergoing blue light treatment, and we are concerned about side effects. Could you please tell me what the normal value of jaundice for newborns is three days after birth?Doctor's answer:
Baby showed jaundice again six days after birth, with elevated jaundice levels. It is considered possible that this may be physiological jaundice, which may persist for about one to two weeks before gradually improving. Breast milk jaundice is also a possibility. Yinzhi Huang (a traditional Chinese medicine) is considered effective, and blue light treatment is another option.It is recommended that you follow up with the pediatric department for a thorough examination and follow the doctor's advice for treatment, proper care, and medication on schedule. Currently, the condition has significantly improved, but it is still necessary to continue medication for a few more days. Regular prenatal check-ups are required, and closely monitor any changes in symptoms.
During the treatment period, dietary restrictions and regular exercise are recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle, regulate physical and mental well-being, and keep personal hygiene to prevent bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
