Question
My baby is 25 days old and has jaundice that hasn’t subsided. I would like to know what to do and whether I need to take the baby to the hospital for treatment?
Answer
Considering the baby’s condition, it may be due to pathological jaundice or breast milk jaundice. It is recommended to visit the pediatric department for a check-up and receive appropriate treatment based on the results. For neonatal jaundice, it is abnormal if it appears on the second day after birth. Additionally, the total bilirubin level of 233 is still high, making discharge inappropriate; it needs to be below 100 before discharge. If it persists beyond the expected delivery date, appropriate measures should be taken based on the specific circumstances at that time.
