My daughter is still a little yellow.  She is 5.5 weeks old.  I thought maybe it was breastmilk jaundice, but doctors don't think so.  She is also slightly anemic.  I'm not sure what to think.  She is also part Asian.  1/8th Japanese.  I thought maybe that would have to do with it as well...

In their first few days of life, more than half of all full-term babies and as many as four out of five premature infants who are otherwise healthy develop jaundice. Although some babies are jaundiced at birth, most develop infant jaundice during their second or third day of life. This would usually disappear in 2 weeks.  Jaundice that develops or lasts more than 2 weeks can be a sign of a liver malfunction, a severe infection, an enzyme deficiency, or an abnormality of your baby's red blood cells.  Your doctor should do further testing to determine what the exact cause is.

It sounds like she could be with child, but throwing up blood is not normal. It sounds like she has a serious problem, so please take her to the doctor.

I think that you should at least do some investigations to find out why your ALT is elevated. Do you know what your bilirubin, GGT, and alkaline phosphatase levels were?

I know when I breastfeed my daughter I didn't have a period for about a year, but as soon as I started to ween her off it came back.  You might want to call your doctor.

Yes, your Doc is right. You do have a low HB level. Take Zincofer as prescribed, your doc did go to medical school to know what he's talking about. While you should not have trouble conceiving, you should first try to get your HB level up( This is in the best interest of the health of your baby and you). Please don't go on any diet, it is just a bunch of crap. Just eat properly, with adequate(not excess, don't go over board) amount of greens.The iron tablets will work better than anything else.just relax and remember this will take time. And no you don't need blood transfusion , unless you suffer from secondary symptoms.

oh i feel so sorry for your little one! that's way too long to be sick. and a fever of 104 is extremely high which can be dangerous. when my daughter was 16 months, her fever got so high she had a seisure. the doctor said very high fevers can cause brain damage. you should give your daughter motrin which will really knock that fever out for alot longer period of time than tylenol. i have had several doctors tell me over the years that you can give motrin and tylenol at the same time. i really hope she gets well real soon. i will say a prayer for her as soon as i'm done typing this. oh geeze i just realized you said may 19, i thought it said may 6! so it's been about 4 days, hang in there. a month ago my 4 year old son was sooooo sick for 4 days, high fevers, vomiting, i was so scared i took him to ER twice and the clinic once. it was just something i had to wait out and let it take it's course.

It sounds like a virus that seems to go away,but instead lays dormant for a few days. There's not much that can be done for this except plenty of bed rest and fluids. During the times that she's not feeling unwell,make sure she's still taking it easy so as not to weaken her immune system.\n\nJust saw your daughter's age-I'd get her straight to the doctor's,there is a real danger of her becoming dehydrated. Does she also have a high temperature? Keep a check on this and sponge her down from time to time with cool water. She may also have a food intolerance,such as dairy-so tell the doctor you want her checked for this. Don't ask-TELL. You know your daughter better than anybody.

Signs of anemia may include the following: \n\nBlack and tarry stools (sticky and foul smelling) \nMaroon, or visibly bloody stools \nRapid heart rate \nRapid breathing \nPale or cold skin \nYellow skin called jaundice \nLow blood pressure \nHeart murmur \nEnlargement of the spleen \n\nSymptoms of anemia may include the following: \n\nFatigue \nTrouble breathing \nChest pain \nAbdominal pain \nWeight loss \nWeakness \nDizziness and passing out, especially upon standing\n\n~~~\n\nThat eating soil thing is just a myth...your daughter is eating soil because she can.  IF she is anemic, she doesn't have some innate knowledge that soil will give her iron.

I think you should seek a second opinion.  Sometimes pediatricians are quick to dismiss b/c they see so many of the same things all the time.  It could be something more serious (though I have no idea).  A friend of mine is in the process of getting over an extremely rare disease, and he wasn't properly diagnosed until he was taken to one of the best hospitals in the country.  Sometimes it takes some insistence and a clean pair of eyes to get to the root of the problem.  Best of luck with your kids!

100f is a slight fever. keep an eye on it thou.  keep giving her antibiotics. I'm sure the doc gave her some. Right? Well, did he do a exam on her tonsils?? My kids just did. They had strep throat. Give her med. for pain like Motrin or Tylenol and will help with fever. Mine were at 103f and Motrin chewable pills knocked it out. The fever...Good luck.. If all else fails and the fever does not go away. Take her to the hospital right away. Don't overdose her...... Yes she may not want to eat but keep fluids in her that is very important for dehydration...she may be having, as I like to say to my 5 kids...growing pains in their legs....L

Instead of wasting your time here asking for opinions from anyone with a computer, GO TO THE DR.. What are you waiting for.....My 3 year old son died, what should I do? Go to the emergency room NOW! Or, you could wait for a while and see if anyone agrees with you to do nothing.\n\nYes, I guess you should have mentioned you spoke with a DR.. You say it the test was negative. Tested for what? Blood? Did you feed your son beets?

i had the same thing and my moms a nurse she said it was okay and it was just a phase in the "growing" cycle so dont worry about it, but if it turns yellow, or green you should see a doctor.

Could be a magnesium or potassium deficiency sign.\nTake a calcium magnesium zinc pill 3 times a day with meals, and eat 3 servings of fruit for potassium to see if it helps.\nGood luck!

i think it is always best to ask a doctor especially if its for your child. there could be a drug interaction or complication with any underlying conditions your daughter might have.

Dont worry, this happens with alot of medications. Your body is simply passing the excess it is not using. The body takes what it needs and passes the rest. If I take a multi-vitamin it often turns my wee fluro yellow. Its just the left overs.\n\nIf it continues after you have finished your course of antibiotics, see your doctor.
