Patient's question:
Male, 1 month illness/symptoms: Jaundice level 9.9. Is it necessary to be hospitalized?Medical history description: The baby is 5 days old with a jaundice level of 9.9. The doctor requires hospitalization for treatment! Is it necessary?
Doctor's answer:
Jaundice has certain limits. Its color is not pure golden yellow. To reduce physiological jaundice, parents should pay attention: The method to judge whether a newborn's fluid intake is sufficient is to observe the newborn's urine. Generally, normal newborns urinate 6-8 times a day. If the frequency is not enough, it may be due to insufficient fluid intake. Too little urine is not conducive to the excretion of bilirubin. We should ensure that newborns have adequate fluid intake. Generally, newborns' meconium should be passed within 2-3 days, thereby reducing the level of jaundice.
