New born baby Jaundice
Hi Team,
My baby was was suffering with high jaundice 28.1 on 4th day. I admitted her in the hospital and it was due to blood incompatibility with mother. She was treated with exchange blood transfusion. Mother blood group is O positive and baby's blood group is A positive.
First exchange blood transfusion was done with O negative whole blood. After that bilirubin has dropped to 9.5 and increased to 17. Second exchange blood transfusion was done on the next day with O negative prbc with AB positive plasma. After that bilirubin was 6 and 14. After 2 days it is 8.8. After a day bilirubin level is 6.2 and hemoglobin is 13.
Doctor suggested to test after 2 more days.
Please suggest what precautions I should take care going forward and any other tests suggested. She is 11 days old now.
