Patient's question:
My baby is 23 days old today, breastfeeding, with a forehead jaundice level of 12.7. Vomiting is quite frequent. Is it necessary to stop breastfeeding? Is drinking glucose water and sun exposure beneficial for jaundice to subside?Doctor's answer:
Hello! If the jaundice level reaches 12.7, it indicates a high level. Whether it is physiological or pathological jaundice, any increase suggests liver damage. Currently, further tests are needed to clarify the specific cause of the jaundice increase, followed by targeted treatment.Advice: Additionally, stop breastfeeding, get some sun exposure, and if necessary, use medication to control the condition and undergo light therapy.
