Question
The child is already 14 days old, and the jaundice has not subsided for a long time. After 7 days of birth, the treatment reached the exchange transfusion critical value. After blue light therapy, the bilirubin level did decrease, but very slowly. After stopping the blue light treatment, the bilirubin level increased again. Both the child and the mother have type O blood, and tests have ruled out hemolytic disease. Now that the child is 14 days old, they are being treated in isolation at the hospital. Can you help analyze what might be causing this?
Answer
Condition Analysis: There is a yellowish appearance on the child’s face that requires treatment. Try taking some Yinjie Huang Granules. Guidance: Take advantage of good weather to take the child outdoors for some sun exposure. Also, take some Mommy Love and drink some glucose water. Observe for a week.
