Patient's question:
24 weeks old baby, I don't know what the situation will be, later I learned that I was sick. Please ask: What should I do if the baby is a full moon and jaundice has not subsided?Doctor's answer:
At 2 weeks after birth for full-term infants and 1 month after birth for premature infants, jaundice should have subsided. If it hasn't, consider pathological jaundice and require careful examination and treatment.1. First, it is recommended to check the baby's bilirubin levels. If the jaundice is mild, treatment at home with close observation can be initiated. If breastfeeding, you may temporarily stop breastfeeding for 3 days (considering breast milk jaundice). At the same time, prevent constipation in the child and, under the guidance of a doctor, administer oral herbal preparations for jaundice reduction, such as Yinzhihuang.
2. If the jaundice is severe after examination, phototherapy should be coordinated, and liver-protecting and jaundice-reducing medications should be administered.
