Patient's question:
My child is one month old today and had their bilirubin level checked. It keeps getting higher, now at 20. What should I do? Is it serious? Is it pathological jaundice? Did the medicine not help and instead make the jaundice worse?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you mentioned that in this situation, the baby's jaundice level is still relatively high. If this is considered to be more likely due to pathological jaundice, this situation can generally be treated under the guidance of a local doctor by taking some jaundice supplements and probiotics. If breastfeeding, it is necessary to consider jaundice caused by breastfeeding. If the infant's jaundice does not decrease after medication but instead increases, this indicates that the situation is out of control. It is necessary to identify the cause of the treatment.
