Question
Recently, my baby’s bilirubin levels have been slightly elevated, and the doctor has recommended blue light therapy and hospital observation. As the father of a hepatitis B patient, I am worried that it might be due to my condition.
Answer
Based on the information you provided, your child’s hepatitis B condition is not influenced by your own. The common causes of newborn jaundice include hemolytic and perinatal factors, rather than hepatitis issues. It is advised to focus on the blue light therapy, which generally has good effects. Wishing you and your baby good health.
