How is it best to treat infant jaundice?

Patient's question:

Female, 27 years old, she has noticed this symptom for a long time, but the condition has not improved. She wants to go to the hospital for a systematic examination. How is it best to treat infant jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

You can take medicine to reduce jaundice, such as Yinzhihuang Granules, take oral probiotics, and get some sun exposure. If the jaundice is severe and the bilirubin level is below 256 umol/L, you need to undergo blue light therapy. If the child has hemolytic jaundice, in addition to the above treatments, intravenous human immunoglobulin should be administered to stop the hemolytic reaction. The oral liquid and granules are the same. So you should take your child for a blood test to check how high the bilirubin level is in the blood. The umbilical cord blood reflects the condition at birth. Now, getting a blood test will show the current condition and how yellow the child is.
