Patient's question:
The baby is 10 days old. On the fifth day of discharge, the jaundice level was 19.1. The doctor recommended blue light treatment. Unable to bear leaving her alone in the hospital, we took her home, gave her jaundice medication, and on the seventh day, exposed her to sunlight. The jaundice level dropped below 13.Doctor's answer:
Hello, newborns have jaundice, we should identify the cause of jaundice and provide treatment guidance: If jaundice occurs within 24 hours after birth, consider hemolysis, increased direct bilirubin, viral infection, or liver and biliary diseases. There is also familial jaundice. If breast milk jaundice significantly decreases 3 days after stopping medication, and bilirubin levels fluctuate again, further examination and treatment are required.
