Patient's question:
Born 72 hours, a re-examination showed jaundice again, with an index of 15.6, suggesting hospitalization. The blood routine test revealed low white blood cells and high red blood cells. What does this indicate?Doctor's answer:
The buttocks have again developed redness, swelling, and peeling, primarily due to excessive bowel movements followed by unhygienic conditions leading to damp-heat symptoms. Jaundice requires timely treatment, which can involve exposure to blue light or oral medication. If symptoms persist, alternative treatment methods can be used, which may help with the baby's diarrhea. In fact, neonatal jaundice is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as treatment is initiated promptly in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
