Question
A baby born at 1 PM on the 26th had a bilirubin level measured through a skin test that rose from 6.1 to 13 on the third morning. Is immediate medical attention needed?
Answer
Based on the situation, the baby’s bilirubin level is within the normal range, and it is recommended to continue close observation. If the full-term infant’s jaundice has not subsided after 14 days, consider oral probiotics and curcumin treatment. If there is no improvement after more than 14 days, it is advisable to seek detailed examination or blue light therapy at a hospital. Timely examination and treatment are crucial for newborn jaundice, and medical attention should not be delayed. If the condition persists, timely adjustment of the treatment plan is necessary.
