Patient's question:
The child has only been here for half a month. A day ago, I accidentally went for a jaundice check. The doctor said the jaundice level was over 200 and required a three-day hospital stay. The family doesn't need to stay at the hospital. They are afraid the child will suffer and don't want to stay. What should I do if the child's jaundice level is over 200?Doctor's answer:
If it is a full-term baby, during the 10 to 14-day physiological period, jaundice will gradually decrease. If it is a premature baby, it may decrease later. Sometimes it is caused by maternal jaundice. As long as the child is generally doing well and has a normal appetite, it is recommended to take jaundice-reducing medication. Pay attention to the child's skin color, body temperature, pulse, and breathing regularly. If the child shows any abnormal symptoms, it is important to take them to the hospital for treatment immediately.
