Question
On the fifth day after birth, a hospital examination shows that the baby’s bilirubin level is 13. The doctor recommends hospitalization. Is this level necessary for hospitalization? The family is anxious and eagerly seeks professional advice.
Answer
On the fifth day after birth, if the baby’s bilirubin level reaches 13 and both feeding and defecation are normal, consider using Yinzi Huang Oral Liquid for jaundice treatment first. At the same time, it is suggested to further examine the specific bilirubin levels in the baby’s blood. While actively treating the condition, the family should maintain a positive attitude, pay attention to the baby’s diet control, maintain a regular lifestyle, and encourage active participation in physical exercise to enhance resistance and avoid bacterial infections.
