Jaundice

Hi just done check up at KKH for my son jaundice and they say its prolonged jaundice because my son is already 3 weeks old they asked us to do the liver scan... I am really scared and worried can't wait for the scan schedule... With your babies when does their jaundice clear and do they also done liver check at KKH?

Hi Ayu, My heart goes out to you. All 3 of my children had high levels of jaundice, my 2nd being the highest at 400+ and it took a month+ to go away. We didn’t do a liver scan and just flushed it out with milk. He did undergo intensive light therapy tho - even after that the jaundice hovered and we had to do heel prick tests every week. This was with NUH and the polyclinics thereafter.
