Patient's question:
Besides the four-day full moon, the child's jaundice on the face is 15.2, on the chest is 15, and on the legs is 12.5. Ten days ago, it was measured at 16, so it has decreased slightly. Both parents are Type O blood, and the child developed jaundice immediately after birth.If the newborn's jaundice is too high, how should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Physically speaking, newborn infants' jaundice index is naturally slightly higher, and as long as it does not exceed 13.5 during its peak period of about 10 days, it is considered normal. Based on what you mentioned, reaching 14.4 on the fourth day of birth, along with elevated multiple liver and biliary function indices, it may be more related to congenital liver and biliary inflammation. Follow the doctor's advice for treatment. Additionally, during the treatment for neonatal jaundice, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
