Patient's question:
Big Sister just had her baby, and then I went to her house to visit her. I felt that the baby's jaundice was particularly severe. I took time to go to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor who saw me said it was 270. Then I didn't understand whether it was high or low. Please ask what is the matter with a normal value of 270 for newborn jaundice?Doctor's answer:
In this situation, the baby's jaundice is relatively severe. While monitoring the baby's mental state, if the baby is in good condition and can breastfeed, phototherapy can be administered, or Yinzhihuang Granules can be taken orally. If symptoms such as poor appetite, fatigue, and difficulty waking up appear, and phototherapy is required, symptomatic treatments such as albumin and immunoglobulin should be administered. Neonatal jaundice refers to the occurrence of yellow discoloration of the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera during the neonatal period due to abnormal bilirubin metabolism, leading to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood. It is the most common clinical problem in newborns.
