Yellow Complexion

Asked for Male, 6 years

I had my son on 8 oct. After 1 week he developed jaundice and his levels peaked to 20. Was given photo therapy 2 days and level were brought down to 11.3. After stopping the treatment another test was conducted after 14 hours and level were 11.5. Now its 10 days since his treatment. But he still has yellow skin. Shoulde I have test again or how long does it takes to skin completely cleared up. All other test reports normal.

Dear Patient,

Yes you should repeat the test to be sure its cleared. You can take him out where theres sunlight (doesnt have to be directly in his eyes) and observe by pulling his upper eyelids if the white area of his eyes is yellow. This is the best indicator for jaundice. If even mildly yellow rush to your nearest hospital. Feed him a lot as the only way jaundice lowers in babies is by hydration and removed in stool/urine. In either case do the blood test and if values are high followup with a child specialist.
