How to handle a situation where a baby’s jaundice level is 16 and remains unstable?

Children born to an O-type blood mother and an AB-type blood father may have A or B blood types and are at risk for hemolytic disease. It is recommended to check blood type antibodies before pregnancy and receive traditional Chinese medicine treatment if necessary to reduce the risk. Regularly check antibody levels during pregnancy, and may start oral traditional Chinese medicine for pregnant women when antibody levels rise to enhance the fetus’s resistance.

Neonatal hemolytic disease has the potential to self-heal, but requires close observation and appropriate treatment.

Neonatal hemolytic disease can be cured with proper treatment, and in severe cases, it requires intensive care and anti-AIgG antibody titer testing. It usually accompanies jaundice symptoms, but with measures such as intravenous immunoglobulin infusion and medication treatment, a full recovery is possible, and breastfeeding can continue after discharge.
