Patient's question:
23 weeks pregnant, I didn't know what would happen, but later found out I was sick. Please ask: What should I do if my baby has jaundice?Doctor's answer:
This should not be hemolysis, as hemolysis typically occurs again 2-3 days after birth. It is more commonly associated with breast milk jaundice or biliary tract abnormalities in children. It is recommended to closely monitor the bilirubin levels. If there is a significant decline, a venous blood test can be conducted. If the levels are high, hospitalization for a thorough examination is advised. When bilirubin levels are elevated, some children may develop kernicterus, and most may have long-term sequelae. It is recommended to consult a pediatric neurology department. Breastfeeding can be temporarily stopped for 3-5 days for re-evaluation. If the condition improves, it may be related to breastfeeding. There is absolutely nothing to worry about. Please go to the pediatric neurology department for a thorough examination.
