Patient's question:
My baby didn't have jaundice when he/she first came into the world, but after 3 days, jaundice started appearing on his/her face, and it became more and more yellow each day. A skin test showed a level of 19, and later a blood test showed 207. How should I handle recurrent jaundice in newborns?Doctor's answer:
If the baby's jaundice keeps recurring, it should be considered as jaundice caused by breastfeeding. You need to stop breastfeeding for three days and see if it improves. If it does, in this case, you need to stop breastfeeding and undergo treatment. Follow your doctor's advice for treatment, and you can also take some medication for treatment. This condition can be divided into physiological and pathological jaundice. Based on the current jaundice monitoring, it may be related to pathological jaundice, and blue light therapy should be given to reduce jaundice.
