What should I do if my baby has elevated jaundice?

Patient's question:

17 weeks pregnant, I didn't know what would happen, later I found out I was sick. Please ask: What should I do if my baby has increased jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

Just observe carefully. Regarding jaundice: First, carefully observe the child's general condition: how are they eating? Are their bowel movements and urination normal? Are they crying loudly? Are they responsive? Second, learn to assess the extent of the child's skin discoloration, whether the sclera of their eyes is yellow, how deeply it is yellow, and if their palms and soles are also yellow. If everything seems fine, continue observing carefully. If you're unsure, or if their palms and soles are both yellow, or if their facial skin yellowing is severe, or if the child's responsiveness declines, then go to the hospital to see a pediatrician.
