How to treat high jaundice in babies appropriately

Patient's question:

14 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 has high jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

The baby's jaundice level is high and difficult to subside, indicating pathological jaundice, which is generally considered to be caused by infection. The baby has high bilirubin levels, and excessively high blood bilirubin can lead to the risk of kernicterus (bilirubin entering the brain). However, the baby has already passed the perinatal period, making this risk slightly lower. The baby is very young and is easily contagious, with the condition changing rapidly. Infectious diseases can generally be controlled and relieved with active treatment. It is recommended to actively and carefully examine the cause of the condition and undergo antiviral treatment.
