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, and 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. Taking Yinzhihuang Granules orally in large quantities, pay attention to observing the face, eyes, and sclera. If the life color becomes darker, the color intensifies, 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 a concern. 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 recurring pattern, it should be considered pathological jaundice. There are many causes of pathological jaundice, and timely treatment is required.
