How should newborn jaundice be treated?

Patient's question:

Female, 26 years old, my child was diagnosed with neonatal jaundice right after birth. Please ask: How is neonatal jaundice treated?

Doctor's answer:

1, Neonatal jaundice, first consider it is physiological jaundice, as long as it is not very serious, it can usually disappear completely within 2 weeks. If the jaundice is relatively severe or persists, it is pathological jaundice, requiring hospital treatment. If you do not have other diseases of the second-order neurons, the symptoms you described should be physiological jaundice. Pay attention to keeping newborns warm, appropriately advance feeding, supply sufficient water and heat energy, and promote the early discharge of meconium to increase the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin, which can reduce the degree of physiological jaundice.
