Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, my child was just born and diagnosed with neonatal jaundice. Please ask: How is jaundice treated?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is a common condition, which can be divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological jaundice usually disappears within about a week. If it persists for less than a week, it is likely to be pathological jaundice. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough examination promptly. Once the cause is confirmed, targeted treatment can be administered. Generally, blue light therapy can be used, and then supplemented with yellow-reducing medication. It is also important to give the baby plenty of fluids and change their diapers frequently.
