Question
What’s the situation with your baby’s jaundice index at 20?
Answer
If your baby’s jaundice index reaches 20, it is considered a relatively high level. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test as soon as possible to further determine the bilirubin level. At the same time, consider undergoing blue light therapy and taking artichoke yellow granules orally to reduce jaundice. This can prevent the jaundice from worsening and potentially causing bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. Typically, a continuous blue light therapy treatment for about seven days is required. If the condition worsens further, blood transfusion treatment may be necessary.
