Answer
For a ten-month-old child, a bilirubin level of 250 micromoles/liter requires timely treatment. Consider using Yinjie Huang Granules for treatment. If the child is a newborn, blue light therapy can be considered. However, since the child is ten months old, cooperation may be low, so medication treatment can be adopted. It is also recommended to check liver function, take the child outdoors when the weather is good for sun exposure, and take Mamima Ai. Pathological jaundice is caused by abnormal bilirubin metabolism due to diseases and usually occurs during specific periods in newborns, which is easy to confuse with physiological jaundice. If the bilirubin level reaches 250 micromoles/liter but is below 221 micromoles/liter, parents do not need to be overly concerned. According to the description, the bilirubin level is slightly high, but it has not reached the severity requiring blue light therapy.
