Question
Newborn has high jaundice. The index is 27. Born 21 days ago. Full-term baby. What should I do? Is it dangerous?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the baby’s bilirubin level is quite high. It is still recommended to receive blue light therapy in the hospital, which can have a certain therapeutic effect on the baby’s condition. High bilirubin levels can easily lead to jaundice, and this condition may also be caused by breastfeeding. It could also be due to hemolysis, especially under the guidance of a doctor, further medical examinations and appropriate treatment are needed.
