I am devastated by looking my little with needles every day. Weight 2.6 lenght 50cm
Unfortunately yes your baby needs to get hospitalised again, kept under phototherapy and bilirubin levels monitored very regularly. No doubt its very devastating to see your baby in pain but its for his good and if treated promptly it would be over in no time Insha’Allah
15 is high, phototherapy is required. further, cause of jaundice is also needed to find out
bilirubin levels are high, baby needs hospitalization and of course phototherapy.
Your baby was born before term and is at a greater risk of developing adverse effects of jaundice of the newborn. Contrary to the oldwives tales it should not be treated at home with sunlight etcetra if phototherapy is indicated because of high laboratory jaundice level result.
