The normal range for total bilirubin in full-term newborns is 3.4m/L to 17m/L. If the bilirubin level increases slightly after medication, it generally will not lead to kernicterus. It is recommended to communicate frequently with the attending physician, pay attention to the baby’s mental state and unusual crying. At the same time, be mindful of keeping warm and maintaining indoor humidity. You can also take the baby out to get more sunlight. Wishing the patient a quick recovery!
If a newborn’s jaundice level reaches 17, will it turn into kernicterus?
My baby is less than a month old and now has a jaundice issue. Today, I noticed his lips are particularly red, a dark red color. So, I’d like to ask, can a newborn’s lips turn red with jaundice?
My child is now about two weeks old, and I don’t know why they’ve started having nasal congestion, which affects their feeding. Sometimes they eat a few mouthfuls and then refuse to continue. So, I’d like to ask the doctor if a newborn’s nasal congestion can heal on its own? Newborn nasal congestion may be caused by catching a cold and usually heals on its own. However, you can try using a warm towel to apply to the baby’s nose to relieve the congestion. Alternatively, you can place your index and middle fingers on either side of the baby’s nose and gently massage to alleviate the congestion. Always ensure the baby is well-warmed and prevent colds. It’s advisable to consult a large hospital for a check-up if the condition persists or worsens.
The palm of a newborn with jaundice may turn yellow, but typically, physiological jaundice begins to appear 2-3 days after birth, reaches its peak on the 4-5th day, and starts to fade within 14 days. If a child’s skin turns yellow, they can take a loquat syrup while ensuring adequate water intake, expose themselves to more sunlight, and have regular follow-up appointments. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a transcutaneous bilirubin test or blood test to ensure an accurate diagnosis of the condition.
