Patient's question:
My baby is about a month old. When we went for a check-up, the doctor said the baby still has jaundice. I checked and the jaundice level is now 20. Is a jaundice level of 20 considered high for a newborn?Doctor's answer:
Hello. High bilirubin levels. Active treatment of jaundice is necessary. Such as blue light, acid correction, protein application, etc. To prevent kernicterus. Hello. The baby's jaundice is persistent pathological jaundice. Such a condition requires continued treatment. You can use Yinzhihuang injection for treatment. When necessary, actively check liver function and hepatitis B five items. Actively rule out breastfeeding. Give the baby more water. Bathing and swimming also help the baby eliminate jaundice. Wishing your baby good health.
