Patient's question:
The child was not very normal from birth, and we were very worried. We went to the hospital for a check-up. Please ask how high the newborn jaundice index must be before going to the hospital.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice index, if it is lower than 13 and shows a progressive increase, needs to be followed up and resolved as soon as possible. If the jaundice index is lower than 13 and continues to decline, it indicates pathological jaundice, and it is necessary to follow up with a pediatrician, hospitalize for close observation and treatment, and use blue light therapy. In addition to timely treatment for neonatal jaundice patients, patients also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A good mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. Thank you!
