Question
My child is 38 days old and has been asked to check for jaundice due to yellowing of the face, with an index of 9.8 to 11.9. The child cannot receive the hepatitis B vaccine at this stage. How should we treat the newborn’s persistent jaundice?
Answer
Hello, if the child’s condition improves, they can proceed with the hepatitis B vaccine injection, so parents should not worry too much as this will not affect the vaccine. If the child’s jaundice issue has not improved, parents should immediately take the child to see a doctor for treatment and should not buy or use any medication without a doctor’s prescription. Please closely monitor your child’s symptoms and assist them in receiving appropriate treatment in a timely manner.
