Patient's question:

Female, 1 month illness/symptoms: Hemolytic Please ask how long does hemolytic jaundice generally require hospital treatment?

To determine the severity of hemolytic jaundice, conservative treatment generally requires about two weeks. If exchange transfusion is needed, it might be a bit faster.
Follow-up question: The baby has been hospitalized for seven days. Last night, I asked the doctor that the bilirubin level is 215. Can the baby be discharged for home medication treatment? Taking Yinzhihuang, probiotics, and getting more sun exposure is okay?
Reply: The baby's bilirubin level is still a bit high. It's best to continue observing at the hospital for a few more days.
Follow-up question: It's hemolytic jaundice. I have Type O blood, and the baby has Type A blood. Last night, the doctor mentioned the bilirubin level is 215. I would like to take the baby home tomorrow for discharge. Can home medication treatment be done?

Reply: It depends on the baby's recovery. Home medication treatment is possible, but a follow-up visit to the hospital is required within one week.
