What should I do if my child's jaundice check is very high?

Patient's question:

It has been 15 days now. Hospitalized for 5 days, jaundice is normal. After discharge, I have been breastfeeding. Currently, the child's complexion is a bit yellow. I plan to go to the First Hospital tomorrow to check it. Now, I just want to ask what should I do if the child's jaundice is too high?

Doctor's answer:

Delayed jaundice. It is related to many factors. In the exclusion of pathological jaundice, there is also a type of breast milk jaundice. The jaundice index is high, the jaundice duration is long, and it can recur for an extended period, lasting up to three months. If breastfeeding, it is recommended to stop first, expose the baby to more sunlight, and take Yinzhihuang. Additionally, you should avoid certain foods. Dietary restrictions are very important when breastfeeding. Observe closely and do not rush to take the baby to the hospital for various tests at the slightest symptom, as it is not good for the baby.
