What should I do if my child's jaundice check is very high?

Patient's question:

It has been 14 days now, hospitalized for 5 days, jaundice is normal, discharged after eating breast milk, currently the situation is a bit yellow in complexion, planning to go to the First Hospital tomorrow to check, now just asking if the child's jaundice is too high.

Doctor's answer:

Jaundice delay in regression is related to many factors. In the exclusion of pathological jaundice, there is also a condition called "breast milk jaundice," where the jaundice index is high, the jaundice duration is prolonged, and it can persist repeatedly for as long as three months. If breastfeeding, it is recommended to stop for a while, expose the baby to more sunlight, and take Yinzhihuang (a traditional Chinese medicine). Additionally, you need to follow a dietary restriction, as it is very important for breastfeeding mothers. Observe closely and do not rush to take the baby to the hospital for various tests at the slightest symptom, as it is not good for the baby.
