Question
At what level of jaundice can a newborn receive the BCG vaccine?
Answer
Your baby is now a month old and slightly jaundiced, but there’s no need to worry. Give the child a glass of glucose water before meals and use warm water to rinse the probiotics. Continue this for three days to observe the results. Once normal, you can administer the vaccine. If the weather is good, you can expose your baby to appropriate sunlight. Be careful not to expose the child’s face to avoid sunburn. It is recommended to get the vaccine after the jaundice has cleared up for the best results.
