Patient's question:
My child is 23 days old today. They are breastfeeding. The forehead jaundice is 12.7. They are vomiting milk frequently. Is it necessary to stop breastfeeding? They are drinking glucose water. I heard that sunlight is beneficial for jaundice to subside. Is the child's jaundice level of 164 normal?Doctor's answer:
If the jaundice level reaches 12.7, it indicates that it is very high. Whether it is physiological jaundice or pathological jaundice, if it indicates liver damage, further examination is needed to identify the specific factors causing the increase in jaundice. Then targeted treatment should be taken.Suggestion: Stop breastfeeding. If necessary, use sunlight exposure, medication control, and phototherapy. You can also appropriately expose the child to sunlight and use alcohol to treat jaundice.
