Patient's question:
A newborn born prematurely 6 weeks ago has been in the incubator for a week, but their total bilirubin level is still 190, with severe jaundice. Is there a risk of discharge and home care for newborns with high jaundice?Doctor's answer:
As premature infants have weaker immunity, and now the weather is cold, it is recommended to stay in the hospital for close observation. It is advised to relax your mind and wait for further observation. The child's physical condition has not yet reached the level of a normal baby. Wishing the child good health.For the patient, if the neonatal jaundice condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of neonatal jaundice. Additionally, the patient should maintain a proper diet and stay in a positive mood. It is hoped that the answers to these questions can assist everyone. Thank you.
