Patient's question:
The baby is four days old, and the jaundice level is 291. Should we be admitted to the hospital for treatment right away? Because I've heard that many children naturally recover from jaundice. Also, my little one didn't have jaundice on the first day of birth, but it appeared on the second day because it was too hot.Doctor's answer:
Hello! 60% to 80% of infants suffer from normal physiological jaundice. As long as the jaundice is mild or moderate and the infant is in good spirits, hospitalization is not necessary. If the infant has pathological jaundice, the jaundice index exceeds a certain range, and the infant has insufficient spiritual milk, then hospital intravenous treatment and blue light irradiation methods should be adopted. The above is the advice for "Should this neonatal jaundice be hospitalized?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
