Question
My baby is four months old and hasn’t received vaccinations due to jaundice. What should I do? Last month, the jaundice level was measured at 5.4.
Answer
In most cases, if the jaundice level is not too high, this issue is not serious. It is recommended to undergo blue light physical therapy, and vaccinations can be delayed. You need to further check the baby’s liver function and review the jaundice situation. Encourage the baby to drink more warm water. The mother should take the baby outdoors more often for sunlight exposure to reduce the jaundice. You can give the baby Silymarin oral liquid, and pay close attention to any changes. If necessary, go to the hospital for a check-up.
