Patient's question:
My baby is 17 days old, with jaundice levels of 6.4 on the face and 5.7 on the body. It has been three days since the jaundice was discovered. The baby is currently not eating well and is neither crying nor fussing. Could you please tell me what level of jaundice is acceptable for administering the BCG vaccine?Doctor's answer:
The baby has been born for half a month now. It's only slightly higher now, don't worry. Give the child a glass of glucose water before meals, and you can rinse the probiotics with warm water. Persist for three days to observe. After it returns to normal, you can get vaccinated. If the weather is good, you can get appropriate sunlight. Be careful not to expose the child's face to the sun to avoid sunburn. It's recommended to wait until the jaundice improves before getting vaccinated.
