Question
I’m dizzy, have no energy, don’t feel like eating, and keep wanting to vomit. I’ve been sick for a month. The dizziness is so severe that it’s through the roof. My blood count has dropped to 5.3 grams, and the doctor says it’s due to hyperbilirubinemia. It’s been almost a month of treatment, and now my blood count has risen to 8.1 grams, but it’s not stable.
Answer
Hyperbilirubinemia in newborns is closely related to an excess of red blood cells in the body. Once red blood cells are broken down, bilirubin is produced. This substance directly affects the production of jaundice. It also raises the value of jaundice and can cause harm to the baby’s body. Therefore, when this situation occurs, parents must choose professional hospitals to treat their children. Children with high bilirubin levels must seek medical attention promptly to avoid causing other diseases and threatening life. After hyperbilirubinemia occurs, phototherapy can be used as an auxiliary treatment. Because sunlight can effectively reduce the harm of this disease to the body, it is also a common treatment method.
