Patient's question:
Our child had three days of blue light treatment right after birth. At first, the doctor said it was already improving, but recently when we came home, we noticed our child's face had turned yellow again. We got a check-up at the nearby clinic, and they said the baby's jaundice level is now over 95. Is a jaundice level of 95 very serious for a newborn?Doctor's answer:
This situation already falls under pathological jaundice. Parents can first give the child some Bifidobacterium and jaundice-relieving medication. If the child's mental state is not good, they must promptly go to the hospital for blue light treatment. After about a week of exposure, at home, try to give the child more water and expose them to more sunlight, which can help alleviate the symptoms of jaundice. If the baby's mental state is poor, has poor sleep, or a rise in temperature, hospitalization is necessary. We hope parents pay close attention.
