Is there a risk of staying at home to treat newborn jaundice?

Patient's question:

A newborn born prematurely 6 weeks ago has been in the incubator for a week, but their total bilirubin level is still 192, with severe jaundice. Please ask: Is there a risk to take the newborn home for care with high jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

The child is six weeks old now, and there is a high level of jaundice. It is necessary to use jaundice-reducing medication in a timely manner. Please pay attention to nursing care. Take some probiotics, and also drink some glucose water. When the weather is good, engage in more outdoor activities, as exposure to sunlight is beneficial. Ensure sufficient deep sleep and carefully observe. In addition to treating neonatal jaundice, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and always maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and accelerate the recovery process.
