Patient's question:
I have been 34 days old. About 5 days ago, I tested around 12.5. I had a normal liver function test. Today, I tested with a bilirubin level of around 11.4. The help I need: Should I be hospitalized for phototherapy treatment? Please reply!Doctor's answer:
Hello, infant jaundice is mainly caused by excessive heat and humidity in the body. The temperature of children with jaundice is higher than the physiological range. This is pathological jaundice and requires hospital treatment. The effect of medication is not good, the most important thing is phototherapy. If the child is doing well with exclusive breastfeeding, you can stop breastfeeding for 3 days to observe the skin turning yellow and eliminate breast milk jaundice. If it is convenient for you to go to the hospital, you should go to the hospital and cooperate with the blue light.
