Patient's question:
Newborn, born on November 23, 2018, premature by 8 months. Yellow was discovered 3 days after birth, and medication was administered for treatment. Discharged on the 11th with slightly yellow skin, and after 10 days at home, the level was found to be 11. Continuous medication treatment, still yellow, current level is 9.Doctor's answer:
The baby is already 49 days old, and the jaundice level is still quite high. Medication has been administered for treatment, but the effect has not been very good. It is recommended to go to the hospital for blue light therapy, which is quite effective and fast. Drinking more milk, having some water in between, and getting some sun exposure can all help reduce jaundice. It is simply an increase in bilirubin levels. The above suggestions are for the question "How to treat jaundice in newborns?" and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
