Patient's question:
When the child was just born, the jaundice level was 13+ points. Today, after getting vaccinated, the head and chest reading is 9.4, and the feet reading is 4.9. It's normal. Please ask if a newborn jaundice level of 9.4 is normal?Doctor's answer:
The baby's jaundice index is 9.4, which is slightly high. It is best not to vaccinate the baby until the jaundice subsides. Medication can be used to reduce jaundice, and vaccination can be done after the jaundice disappears. Drinking more water and getting more sun exposure daily is beneficial for jaundice reduction. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
