How much should neonatal jaundice be reduced before vaccination can be given?

Most pregnant women will have some bad habits during pregnancy, and it is often due to these bad habits that the child will suffer from severe jaundice when he is born. Currently, more and more newborns will suffer from jaundice after birth. Since the physical constitution and condition of children are different when they are born, the symptoms of their jaundice are also different. Therefore, parents are more concerned about how much the jaundice in newborns will drop to is normal, what should we pay attention to after the jaundice in newborns appears, and how long after the jaundice in newborns subsides before vaccination, these are topics that parents are more concerned about.

In the detection of normal and healthy neonatal jaundice, the serum bilirubin concentration only needs to be within the normal range, but this normal range is also a dynamic process. Generally, full-term infants will have bilirubin 3 to 4 days after birth, reaching its peak at 5 to 6 days and then gradually disappearing after 10 to 13 days. If the jaundice value continues to rise on the first day after birth, it is called pathological jaundice. Therefore, the molecular changes of jaundice are a dynamic process. Therefore, as long as the serum bilirubin value of full-term babies does not exceed the normal value, it is fine.

When the jaundice of the newborn drops to normal values, observe for about a week and if it does not continue to rise, you can get a vaccination. If the jaundice value is relatively high, vaccination is not allowed. Consider treating the child's jaundice first. Once the child is infected during the jaundice period, treatment is relatively difficult. Therefore, treat jaundice before vaccination.

After the child develops jaundice, parents need to always observe the degree of yellowing of the newborn's skin under natural light. If only the face is yellow, it is mild jaundice; if the skin on the trunk is yellow, it is moderate jaundice; if the limbs and palms and soles are also yellow, it is severe jaundice. The fetus needs to lift the meconium out as soon as possible, because the meconium contains a lot of bilirubin. If the meconium is not completely discharged, the bilirubin will be reabsorbed into the blood through the newborn's special enterohepatic circulation, causing increased jaundice.

Too little urination is not conducive to the excretion of bilirubin, so you can give the newborn an appropriate amount of water. At the same time, you should always observe the physical condition of the fetus. If the fetus is mentally tired, cries less, moves less, eats less, or has an unstable body temperature, you need to see a doctor in time.

Jaundice is a process that every child must go through. As parents, we should not worry too much. When problems arise, we need to face them positively and remain calm. At the same time, we need to take good care of the fetus according to the doctor's instructions, because we are all first-time mothers and need to actively learn about parenting.
