Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old, my child was just born and diagnosed with neonatal jaundice. Please ask: How should neonatal jaundice be treated?Doctor's answer:
Now the baby's bilirubin level has exceeded the normal range and is classified as pathological jaundice. It is recommended to go to the neonatal department for blue light treatment immediately and conduct a urine test to identify the cause to avoid the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy, which may cause irreversible damage to intellectual and developmental growth. Then, the patient should maintain a light diet, stay in a good mood, avoid staying up late or going to bed late, and ensure adequate sleep time. Next, it is important to maintain a habit of exercise. In daily life, it is also necessary to avoid excessive hunger or fullness, as well as overeating.
