Jaundice in infants

2018-08-20 18:34:26
My son Is 27 days old. He is diagnosed with jaundice  on 3rd day after birth with bilirubin level 13.6, he was given phototherapy for 24 hrs. Now doctor says he is still having jaundice, we are keeping him under light. Doc also advised to keep him under sunlight.  But due to the rainy season there is no sunlight, How many days will it take to cure. What measures should I take to lower them.

Jaundice is common in all newborns and peaks on third day,and vanishes by 7-10 days of life. If he still has jaundice,get him investigated. Plz consult your paediatrician for physical examination and investigation for further management.

Dear parents,      Neonatal jaundice is with bilirubin 13.6,&later decrease & discharge is good. At age of 26day get bilirubin test done & get satisfied. Yellowness of eyes take long time to clear, so don't worry.
