Patient's question:
Baby is 6 days old, jaundice is above the standard, how can it be reduced quickly? Is drinking glucose water helpful? What is the ratio of water and glucose to mix? How long should it be exposed to the sun each time? How many times a day should it be exposed to the sun? Please answer me in detail, thank you!Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice, first consider it as physiological jaundice. As long as it is not severe, it can usually disappear completely within 2 weeks. If the jaundice is relatively severe or persists, it is pathological jaundice and may require hospital treatment. If there are no other diseases of the second-order neurons, the symptoms you described should be physiological jaundice. Pay attention to keeping the newborn warm, appropriately advance feeding, provide sufficient water and heat energy, and promote the early discharge of meconium. This can increase the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin, thereby reducing the severity of physiological jaundice.
