Patient's question:
When the baby was just 5 days old, I noticed that the baby's jaundice was getting higher and higher. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and found that the jaundice level was over 400. The doctor at the hospital recommended hospitalization for treatment. I didn't really want the baby to be hospitalized, and I want to know what would happen if the baby's jaundice level is over 400?Doctor's answer:
The normal value of baby jaundice is based on the reference index of serum bilirubin. Physiological jaundice refers to the discovery of jaundice in the baby after 24 hours of birth and its natural disappearance within 14 days without other symptoms. In contrast, pathological jaundice has different manifestations, such as hemolytic disease of the newborn, sepsis, hepatitis, congenital biliary atresia, and so on. When jaundice is detected in a baby, the key is still to use symptomatic medication.
