Patient's question:
The newborn's jaundice level is 465. What is the chance of not needing a blood transfusion with a jaundice level of 465? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, symptomatic treatment is required. After phototherapy, monitor the jaundice condition. It is recommended to follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. The baby may have the above symptoms due to pulmonary dysplasia, neonatal pneumonia, or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Without a clear cause, it is difficult to determine if there will be any sequelae. This situation may be related to breastfeeding, so you can temporarily stop breastfeeding and switch to formula feeding to see if it improves. Additionally, it is recommended to perform a bilirubin index and liver function test. Treatment options can be selected based on the results of these tests.
