Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. What is the normal value of jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Physiological jaundice generally does not require treatment. Starting to eat earlier after birth can help the meconium be expelled earlier and establish the normal intestinal flora, thereby reducing the absorption of bilirubin from the intestine, which can alleviate jaundice to some extent. When a newborn has jaundice, it is important to avoid the use of sulfonamide drugs, aspirin, and drugs containing sodium benzoate. Breast milk is usually fed on demand, so let the baby eat when they are hungry. Formula milk is generally fed every three hours, while breastfed babies can be fed whenever they are hungry.
