Patient's question:
The baby was born at 1:00 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 jaundice level was measured again in the morning on the third day, it was over 21. The baby was taken directly to the neonatal department for blue light treatment, and the jaundice is now gone. Is this okay?Question: How should blood samples be taken for neonatal jaundice testing?
Doctor's answer:
What tests did your baby undergo? How has your baby been doing in terms of spirits, appetite, absorption, and deep sleep? First, don't worry if there are any abnormalities. Some may be slightly elevated with no symptoms and don't need to be concerned about them. They will never affect anything except for the treatment of neonatal jaundice. It is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and always maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their constitution and speed up recovery.
