Patient's question:
Female, 24 years old, her baby was born recently, and she discovered that she has jaundice. Please ask: How is neonatal jaundice treated?Doctor's answer:
The incidence of neonatal jaundice is very high, and it can be divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological jaundice does not require treatment and usually returns to normal within about a week. However, if the jaundice persists and the symptoms are severe, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. Medications to reduce jaundice can be taken, followed by blue light therapy to alleviate symptoms. Then, the patient should pay attention to maintaining a light diet, keeping a good mood, avoiding staying up late or late nights, and ensuring sufficient sleep time. Additionally, it is important to maintain a habit of exercise. In daily life, one must also avoid extreme hunger or overeating, as well as binge eating.
