Patient's question:
Newborn has a yellow complexion but not the hands and feet. The sclera has been yellow for 8 days. How should newborn jaundice be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on the bilirubin index you provided, the baby's current bilirubin index is 14.5, which indicates pathological jaundice. According to the current bilirubin index, it is necessary to give the baby timely oral jaundice-reducing medication. After taking the oral medication for three days, you can retest the bilirubin index again.The baby is the flower of the motherland, and parents must not overlook the baby's health. If any abnormalities are observed in the child's body, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible. This is the only way to stop the disease in its tracks.
