Patient's question:
The baby has been feeling unwell for a while, but hasn't seen a doctor and hasn't paid much attention. Who knew it would get so serious now. Please ask: What should I do if a newborn has high jaundice and high bilirubin?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the baby's bilirubin level is already high, which must be taken seriously. Further detailed examination is necessary to determine if it is caused by a disease, so that targeted treatment can be administered to prevent the condition from worsening. For example, conditions such as hemolysis or hepatitis. In terms of treatment, oral yellow-dissolving medication can be taken, followed by blue light therapy to alleviate symptoms. It is important to cooperate actively with the doctor, maintain good daily care, drink plenty of water, and feed the baby frequently to enhance metabolism.
