Patient's question:
Baby was born 20 days ago. About 10 days later, jaundice was detected. When it was discovered, the jaundice levels were: 21.2, 24.8, 21.5. Medication treatment was administered (, with continuous monitoring throughout. The jaundice levels have been steadily decreasing. Just now, another test was completed, and the jaundice levels are: 10.6, 11.2, 8.5. What is the normal range for jaundice levels?Doctor's answer:
The doll has jaundice. Take more oral Yinzhihuang Granules. Pay attention to observing the face, eyes, and sclera—if the life color becomes darker. The color has worsened. Treatment is needed. Taking Yinzhihuang Granules can be combined with blue light therapy. As long as the normal value is below twelve, it doesn’t need to be managed. If it becomes severe, it’s necessary to go to a hospital for treatment. However, for some infants who develop jaundice within 24 hours after birth and have prolonged duration or a relapsing pattern, consider pathological jaundice. There are many causes of pathological jaundice, and timely treatment is required.
