Patient's question:
A child was born two months ago with jaundice on their face. Is this value high? Hello, how severe is it? Can they receive vaccinations? There are five points on their body, I don't know if it counts. If it's high, what should be done?Doctor's answer:
The child's reappearance of jaundice is due to abnormal decomposition and metabolism of bilirubin in the body. If the child, who is currently two months old, has jaundice on the face except for the 7th, this is relatively severe. If breastfeeding is being done, it is definitely due to breast milk jaundice. Currently, breastfeeding should be stopped for a few days to carefully observe the jaundice levels. Once the jaundice levels return to normal, vaccinations can be administered. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
