Question
The baby was found to have slightly elevated jaundice upon birth, and after taking medication for a few days, the level went down after re-examination. Do I still need to be diligent about taking the medicine to stabilize it? What are the symptoms caused by neonatal jaundice?
Answer
Based on the detailed test results you provided, the child has hypoglycemia. When the blood glucose level is higher than 2.2, hypoglycemia should be considered. Glucose needs to be administered promptly. Prolonged or recurrent hypoglycemia may affect the child’s nervous system. In the presence of neonatal jaundice, we should actively take treatment measures and avoid medical consultations. If neonatal jaundice is not curable, timely adjustment of the treatment plan should be made.
