Patient's question:
The doll was discharged from the hospital three days after birth. At this time, the skin on the doll's face looked yellow all the time. I didn't know what was wrong. The elders at home said the doll had jaundice. I want to ask, what does a baby's jaundice level of 197 mean?Doctor's answer:
Hello. To this parent. If your baby has jaundice. This is a normal phenomenon. Because most babies will have jaundice after 32 days of birth. Usually. The jaundice of full-term infants will return to normal around 2 weeks. Less than 50. Now the child is about 7 days old. If the jaundice does not rise after stopping the blue light. It can also be discharged for observation. If breastfeeding is stopped for 3-4 days during the jaundice period. The jaundice will be significantly reduced. Bilirubin will decrease by more than 50%. If breastfeeding is resumed again. The jaundice may not necessarily reappear. Even if it does appear. It will not reach the initial level.
