Patient's question:
35-day-old baby with jaundice level 10Condition Description: When the child was 20 days old, the jaundice level was 17. The hospital diagnosed an infection in the lungs, and the baby received intravenous fluids and blue light treatment for 4 days, while breastfeeding was stopped. The jaundice level dropped to 7. Then, the baby stayed in a regular ward and received intravenous fluids while breastfeeding for more than two days, and the jaundice level dropped to 6. What should we do?
Doctor's answer:
After 20 days, the newborn's jaundice index was high, but it returned to normal after treatment. After breastfeeding, the guidance increased: This condition is still breast milk jaundice. It is recommended to pause breastfeeding so that the children can get more sunlight. Question: However, during the hospital stay, the last two days were also breastfeeding, and the jaundice level dropped! If not eating immediately, it went up again because breast milk contains immune antibodies that affect bilirubin metabolism. You can also give the baby Yinzhihuang for 3-5 days, and Jinduangui Sultatim is very effective.
