Hey guys, my baby's bilirubin reading just hit an all time high of 262 (prolonged jaundice btw). So, the KK gave me a referral letter to go to the hospital for further actions to be taken. So i went to Putrajaya hosp on the same day, hoping to get phototherapy for my baby, and to my horror, the nurse at the pediatric counter told me that she would give me a scheduled consultation for next wednesday! After being stunned a little, i asked her can it wait that long?! She replied that my baby is only 17 days old and they only look after babies who are 21 days and/or older. WTF?!

What should i do? i'm considering going to a private hospital now as i worry if i wait for wednesday it'll be too late and the bilirubin levels might increase some more. Any suggestions? should i wait? So worried!

our kids had jaundice too and was hospitalized for a few days but then
after not much improvement we self discharged him and did some traditional
practice and within the same number of days that he spent in the hospital
he was back to normal again

went back to the hospital to do checking that's what they are good for
scanning and checking but not healing, and they said whatever you did
just continue la he is ok already, we don't need to know what you did
goodbye
