Patient's question:
My daughter has only been born for a little over ten days. Like many children, she also has jaundice. Her entire skin is almost yellow. But she is too young, and it feels very difficult to treat. Does glucose treatment work for neonatal jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is divided into hemolytic jaundice and breast milk jaundice. Generally speaking, neonatal jaundice disappears within two weeks after birth. At the latest, it disappears within four weeks. Generally speaking, neonatal jaundice does not require treatment. More sugar water can accelerate the disappearance of jaundice. More sunlight can be used to supplement light. In severe cases, it is recommended to go to the hospital for blue light treatment. If the symptoms do not improve after a period of time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to check if liver function is damaged and the total bilirubin content in serum.
