Patient's question:
The baby just turned one month old and noticed their face was quite yellow. On the seventh day of birth, the jaundice level was measured at 13, which later subsided without medication. Now the baby's face has turned yellow again, and after taking medication for three days, it has reduced significantly, but it's still yellow. Why did it turn yellow again? Should we get a check-up? Should we continue taking the medication?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the baby's condition, if there is still obvious jaundice, a blood bilirubin test needs to be performed to check the specific values. Generally, the problem is not serious, and the importance is not serious either. Breastfeeding can also continue. The consideration is whether it is breast milk jaundice. If it is breast milk jaundice, it will improve quickly and gradually disappear.Question: Do I need to be checked? After taking the medicine for three days, I came back a lot. Do I need to continue taking the medicine? How often do you usually take a break? If it is breast milk jaundice, generally no medication is needed.
