The baby was born at 1 PM on the 26th. On the third day in the morning, the jaundice level measured via transcutaneous bilirubin test was 6.1. The doctor didn't prescribe any medication. When the was measured again in the morning on the third day, it was over 13. The baby was taken directly to the neonatal department for blue light treatment. It's still not visible now. Is this okay?Question: Is it necessary to go to the hospital for newborn jaundice?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, the baby's jaundice is within the normal range. Please pay close attention and observe carefully. For full-term infants, jaundice typically resolves within 14 days. It is recommended to take probiotics and medications such as Yinzhihuang orally. If the jaundice does not subside within 14 days, it is advisable to have the hospital conduct a thorough examination or undergo blue light treatment.Faced with the impact of neonatal jaundice, we should actively carry out examinations and treatments. Do not avoid seeking medical attention. If the neonatal jaundice does not improve after treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
