Please review attached reports and advise whether hospitalization is necessary. Baby jerked in sleep few times . Now looking normal no fever.
Brief Answer:
Bilirubin is slightly on the higher side.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the reports and I can understand your concerns.
As per your description it may be a normal jerky movement, and if there is similar episodes again we have to rule out seizures.
It has nothing to do with the blood test and in the attached reports the bilirubin is high and it is quite common in new born infants and it will fall of later, if there is persistently high bilirubin photo therapy may be required.
As of now no need of hospitalisation is there.
Thanks
