Patient's question:
Is the newborn jaundice level of 21.1 too high? Should I go to the hospital for a check-up? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the jaundice level you mentioned for the baby is relatively high, and it may be possible that it is pathological jaundice. You can first try giving the baby Yinzhihuang (a traditional Chinese medicine) to see how it goes. Make sure to give the baby plenty of water. Whether it can decrease depends on the situation. If it does not decrease, you will need to go to the hospital for blue light treatment. Additionally, it is necessary to check if the baby may have breast milk jaundice. If so, you may need to stop breastfeeding to see if it improves.
