Patient's question:
A few days ago, I took my baby for a check-up. Newborn jaundice. The total score is 170. Is it high? The baby is 16 days old. Is this number normal? How should it be handled? I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
The basic issue with this number isn't particularly significant. We should decide what to do based on the doctor's specific judgment. Under normal circumstances, it's also not particularly high, but it does exceed the normal standard value. The baby should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible for blue light treatment. At the same time, liver function should be checked to see if there are any problems. If there are liver function issues, anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment should be administered. It is still recommended to give the child appropriate amounts of water for jaundice treatment.
