Patient's question:
My baby has been born for several days. This morning, I noticed that the skin on his face and hands was turning yellow. At first, it wasn't very yellow, but as soon as I noticed it, I told the doctor. The doctor checked the serum bilirubin level, which was in the tens. They said to wait and see. But after a day, when I checked again, it had increased to over twenty. What are the dangers of high jaundice in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, if the child's jaundice continues to rise, it may very well affect liver function and even trigger jaundice encephalopathy. It is recommended to seek timely treatment. You can start by supplementing nutrition and undergo blue light examination at the hospital. During this period, regular physical examinations should be conducted to monitor changes in liver function and avoid the condition from worsening. While undergoing treatment, you can also add some juice to the child's diet. Wishing your baby good health.
